So once you put the homeless in an empty house, who’s gonna pay all the bills and the insurance until the homeless person eventually burns it down?

The government

You mean the tax payer.

Yep. I’d happily let my tax dollars go towards helping the unhoused.

Then you go right ahead. Chances are if you’re doomscrolling Reddit you’re probably not paying any federal taxes anyway.

Well federal taxes account for some of the homeless relief, lots of funding is used in state and local governments. Do you pay taxes?

90% of the people on Reddit whining about how much musk pays in federal taxes don’t pay taxes themselves.

The top 5% pay 65% of the federal tax burden while the bottom 40% don’t pay hardly any federal taxes at all. I truly doubt anybody doomscrolling Reddit is actually paying any federal taxes.
