Here in the PRK the city of Los Angeles just unanimously passed their current budget of $9.9 BILLION.
Of that money HALF A BILLION DOLLARS is allocated to try and deal with the homeless folks. About 5% of the total city budget.
Los Angeles has a population of about 4 million people.
The homeless population is about 47,000 people. That’s about 1% of the total population.
Hmmm, I guess that’s what the 99% movement is all about. Those 1 PERCENTERS (who pay nothing into the system) get 5% of everything that taxpayers put in.
Fortunately most of the money comes from the special REGRESSIVE SALES TAX HIKE, so the working poor suffer the most. You can read my take on the TAX INCREASE HERE. Stick it to those suckers.
I’m a bit slow on the uptake. Let’s see, increase taxes on those who can least afford it, hmmm, doesn’t that lead to more homeless? Wealth redistribution and socialism at it’s best. I’m glad we have all those smart politicians running the show.
