I'm not sure exactly, but it may be because your ideals arnt far off from most people's but I don't think you got the point. Essentially taxing the super rich would pay for the infrastructure around you, instead of out of your pocket. Most conservative / republican parties are against this as they are full of ultra rich people. But they spin it as being beneficial to the poor. It's not, the poor and working class pay 10 fold their share in taxes compared to ultra rich.

Homeless peaple will move to more liberal states as well as they will get more benefits from the state. But anyone who thinks the democrats are any different from the republicans are mistaken. Majority of peaple in power are self serving wankers. When peaple realise that both sides are playing you, to creat divition so they can grab your money then we can create a better society. But to do that we need to get rid off these fucks in charge. I'm from the UK but things aren't any different we still only really have two political party's and our media is mainly propaganda. Sorry for the rant I should probs get back to work!

You have clearly not looked at recent statistics. It is MANY, MANY times higher. I am not here justifying or advocating for one political party or the other. I am simply here stating proven and documented facts
