The wealth gap is 6:1 of White Americans : African Americans. Racism is rising and many people who weren't acting racist 20 years ago are today. For the first time since the end of slavery the wealth gap is growing again instead of slowly balancing out. The number of people who hate migrants right now when they pay more in taxes and commit less crime is unbelievably high. It is all about using hatred as a tool. People complain about low birth rates, yet if you replace every migrant with a person born here crime would be higher and less taxes would be paid. So does that just mean people are pro crime? If so why are they using the lies about crime to get people to distrust and hate people the don't know? Notice the claims of emptying their prisons and sending those bad people here. Yet those countries are demanding you don't have them in handcuffs or treat the poorly when shipping them back. If they were dangerous people... They would want them in cuffs.. Most every country in the Americas has extradition law/agreements. So if any of them had actually committed murder or rape in their home country before fleeing here, they would be shipped back under extradition. Yet they aren't, because they didn't do any of these claims that the media and politicians are using to blanket statement mass groups of people with. Hate sells and gets views. That's how so many media stations make money. Yet it hurts the people. If we want a peaceful nation with low crime and a happier populous we need to fix the wealth distribution between the rich and the poor and make it so no one is experiencing hard times. Also fines for media outlets need to exceed their profits when they make claims about groups of people that are not verifyanly true. Spreading hate will never be the answer to a happy society.
There is absolutely no reason everyone in this country shouldn't have access to a climate controlled area to rest and food accessible so they don't starve. Our health care costs are twice Canada's and yet we have to pay out of pocket for all of it. Why is that? Because people have been told over and over to worry more about migrants, African Americans, Hispanics, Muslims, The middle East in general, and so on and used the hate to prioritize that hate over voting to have healthcare rights.
You can pay less in taxes than you do right now and have free healthcare. Isn't that just stupid? But pharmaceutical companies lobby politicians to keep you distracted with things that shouldn't need to be concerns in our lives, and make us worried and keep that money flowing into their pockets.
Also, Free healthcare isn't Free. We are already paying for it, we just aren't getting what we are paying for.
