If you have an “obvious solution” to homelessness that can be accomplished with $2.4 billion, please do enlighten us. Otherwise you might want to get comfortable with that “silly” label. 👍

When I said “solution”, the problem I was talking about was how unfair it is that religious groups get tax exempt status despite doing nothing to earn that, and a lot to prove they should be taxed. I never said that suddenly we could feed and house all the homeless with those tax dollars

Post is about homelessness. Post is categorically not about taxes. So you changed the subject without even indicating you were doing so. 🙄
Awesome cool thank you for your contribution. But yeah glad to see we agree on an entirely tangentially related topic.

The post is about the contradiction between homeless people getting the shaft while churches get handouts. There was no change of subject, you just set your focus narrowly and apparently decided anyone outside that would be wrong in multiple ways.

Misinformation. Churches do not get handouts.
Corporations do.
