    Housing and affordable housing should totally be a human right. Look at all the global inequality and how it keeps on growing, the Rich 🤑 / wealthy are accumulating and consolidating wealth 🤑 … Locking people out of opportunities 😕😔😔😐 n the governments do nothing to protect their citizens from the legal corruption… In fact they help the corporations out.

    If people who built nations and kept them running ( the workers / ETC) were compensated properly we’d all have housing, food, clean water ETC. It’s called sharing the profits / wealth. But that’s not what monopolies and people at the top 🎩 🔝 of industries do.

    I mean US still got child labor 😭 till this day.

    People that keep the countries running need to go on a strike / protest all at once for a week or two and demand some kind of equality from their government or otherwise no work no running economy!!

    It’s been done before and it can happen again if we can brave sharing food and water with each other for a week or more.

    Ok 👌 I am going to have to read that a few times n go do some arithmetics on that, N I’ll get back to You on that someday.

    I just had a feeling that if tax dollar went to subsidize good living standards for all , whether poor or middle class that it wouldn’t be a big deal if we all paid about roughly the same percent for all to have access to decent wage / life / opportunity at climbing some kind of a ladder of a profession / industry .

    I’ll try and read more about both ideas 💡 of tax n understand it better…

    Sooo; if the government could collect 10 % flat tax from everyone and was able to subsidize housing, education, medicine and healthcare for everyone that needs it… Then I think 🤔 it might work, it’d get rid of tax loopholes and also allow everyone to do their own taxes simply… 10% … Just move a dot one over a number… Everyone could understand that.

    As for the rich and wealthy classes their reward is still income. They just have to pay their “fair” share. And to me the same percentage across the board is equal/fair.

    Maybe 🤔 You can explain it to me better, where I am missing the point ☝️ or where I am wrong on this idea / notion 😔? I am probably missing something.
