You clearly just don't like the policy, but all of your points have responses.
If you don't think the government should be involved in housing, you can just say that.
If your solution to such a complicated economic issue is "just tax more bro", then I'll just wait until you finish high school before trying to discuss grown-up things with you.
If you think the solution to budgetary issues isn't to tax more when we're at a lower tax rate on corps and the rich than we have been in a long time then it's you that needs to do basic econ/government classes
I'm saying that it's way, WAY more complicated than "just tax more".
It literally isn't just "tax more". I explained that in the long term this would be a boon to the economy and taxes and that the program would have a gradual introduction which would allow for the program to begin paying for itself by the time it's fully implemented. I'm not sure if you're incapable or just unwilling to read, but there are solutions to the housing problem, and "people can't afford housing so let them be homeless" is not one of them.
I never fucking said that so please stop implying I did.
