Who killed Mr. Boddy in the study and with what?: the great debate topic™®

[Foxscotch]

How so?

there could be small apartments that would be free for people who can't afford their own (owned by the government), paid-for (by the government) passes for public transportation for people who can't afford it on their own or get a car, free food for people who can't afford to eat enough (things like bread and vegetables and meat, not candy or whatever), stuff like that
I still think there should be a minimum wage, but not because people should need it to survive

some kind of shelter

I'm sure that when you have a family, you'd be content with them living in "some kind of shelter"

I'm pretty sure the government can afford to house all the poor useless scum society has to offer...

there's no excuse for them to claim they can't afford to do something

You might find it hard to believe, but the US debt is higher than you probably were when you wrote that.

They can barely afford to house themselves, if at all.

Ofcourse, they seem to ignore their debt for the most part, so I can't really claim that as the reason they don't house the homeless.

yes there is. Money comes from the people. imagine being a wealthy citizen in the United States and suddenly a new tax is made that would pay for FREE handouts to other people. Not only does this not encourage a good work ethic but completely goes against what capitalism stands for. i get that the idea is quaint but it's also loving stupid rofl

no, I'm suggesting that they should stop spending such an absurd amount of money on the military, and use that for other things. taxes could be exactly the same as far as I'm concerned

completely goes against what capitalism stands for

who cares?

[nickpb1]

I agree

And um pretty much everyone who makes a decent living cares about the economic integrity of America?

The military spending argument is sooooo cliché.

Right?
It's basically lost all credibility at this point

how exactly would something lose its credibility because it's been said a lot?

because ignorant people use it as their only argument.

see?

okay, but what difference does that make?
