[THREAD] The perfect example of why left wing politics backfire: homelessness. Why is homelessness growing out of control in Los Angeles & San Francisco? I have the tough truths that you will never hear on a liberal podcast. But if we want to solve it, we have to be honest.

Of course some people need help. Of course people need mental health. Of course there are homeless veterans. Anyone with a heart wants to help. But what does California do? It incentives poverty. Highest taxes. Highest poverty rate. Most small businesses fleeing the state...

It's all by design. Liberal & Progressive policies sound amazing on paper. They sound compassionate. But foolishness & being naive is much different from compassion & being kind. The left has become foolish. Look it up. California is the poverty capital of the US.

California has the highest taxes. Highest small business rate. Gas tax. Income tax. Everything taxed. The middle class in California gets smashed by taxes. Meanwhile the neighborhood are getting trashed with tents, food wrappers & graffiti. Helping the average family? Get a grip.

Now, of course some homeless need help. But, have you walked around Skid Row or under an underpass? Down a side street filled with tents? They don't want food. They don't want help. They think they own the street & constantly rob/attack people now. The city lets it happen.

The reality is: California incentives homelessness. San Francisco passes out heroine needles. Los Angeles has free programs galore. We have created a zombie/drugged up/mentally ill class that feels embolden to do whatever they want. It's becoming dirty, disgusting & dangerous.

Do they want jobs? No. We have a booming economy with more jobs than people looking for jobs. Do they want food? Most of the time... no. They don't. Do they want help? Many of them don't. Do some need help? For sure. But not 100%. Everyone just assumes they all want or need help.

So instead of being able to separate those who need help from those who are just criminals, drug addicts & losers living a life on the street -- liberals think they are "such nice people" lying and saying they all want shelter, food & help. It's simply not even remotely true.

So what happens? If you are working hard for your family, your neighborhood gets worse & worse. Your taxes get higher & higher. Gas gets taxed. Your business gets taxed higher than anywhere. Every aspect of your life is being robbed by the state. For what? Pretty much nothing.

If you work? You get screwed. If you do the right thing? You get screwed. Police are demonized by liberal & Progressive media. Business owners get demonized by the press. If you do the right thing, you get taxed, forgotten & hated on. If you do the wrong thing, you're the victim.

California incentivizes homelessness. They have money, communities, syringes, programs & tent cities galore. Heck, people will flock from all over to come to California. Why freeze or get treated bad? Come here & you get preferred treatment over taxpaying citizens.

Two years ago I used to see people asking for food. I always would throw a dollar. Now, streets I used to walk to work to are filled with dozens of tents. It's not safe. They don't want food. They don't want help. They don't want you walking there. You're not welcome.

All because liberals & Progressives are the doormats of the world. Weak. Foolish. Naive. Giving out free stuff to anyone. Protect criminals & demonize police. Suck working class people dry, chase businesses out of the state & create trash-filled "utopias" for anyone to join.

By not being able to separate the unfortunate, mentally ill, veterans & victims from the criminals, degenerates & drug addicts -- You're not Mother Theresa. You're not "Progressive". You're a liar. A con artist. And the reason that working families in California suffer.

If you work hard, overcome, achieve, start a business, take care of your family, pay taxes, protect the neighborhood & provide solutions -- you are the enemy of the liberal. If you are a degenerate, illegal, drug addict, criminal or freeloader -- you ge treated much better.

Cleaning & fixing our communities starts from the ground up. Good parenting. Family values. Spirituality. Good education. Self-accountability on all fronts. It doesn't come from robbing the working class blind, crushing businesses, rising taxes & making the state your "daddy"

The modern left is a paradox in itself. They hate traditional man & woman families. They hate strong men. They hate self-accountability & self-responsibility. They crush the structure that would make a community nice. Then they rape the taxpaying worker & make government bigger.

Is it really any surprise it's not working? It's by design. It's almost the exact opposite strategy on how to make a clean, functioning society prosper. They crush the roots of a mentally stable country then think overbearing taxes, less freedom & big government will solve it.

Drug use & mental illness is at all-time highs. Why wouldn't it be? Look at the television. They lie you into psychosis then sell you pharmacy pills in the commercial. Listen to the music the kids are listening to. Do parents even teach their kids common courtesy anymore?

The schools are filled with Marxist propaganda that doesn't allow individuals to be individuals. It's all race-based & gender-based. It's instilling victimhood, hate & the complete lack of self-accountability. It's the exact opposite of what Martin Luther King was fighting for.

The school is an indoctrination camp for the opposite of a healthy society. The television is a propaganda box designed to sell pills. Popular music is making murder & pharmacy culture "cool". Meanwhile Cali crushes business & sucks taxpayers dry. Why wouldn't homelessness go up?

Trump is the scapegoat & the fall guy. For pathetic, two-faced, ineffective, downward spiraling politicians who can't even take care of their own city. Do California politicians ever talk about cleaning their cities or laying off taxpayers? Barely ever. They don't care at all.

Liberal & Progressive politicians have mastered the art of deflection & branding. They brand poverty, racism, homelessness, murder, degeneracy & mental illness under "Women's Rights", "Progressive", "Free for all" & "Resist the orange man & vote for us". It's disgusting.

So if you really want to solve homelessness... stop lying about it. Stop branding foolishness under "compassion". There is nothing kind about lying this much & throwing all the burden onto working people. Trump won. Hillary was an awful candidate. Grow up & get a grip already.
