Well if I round the total homeless population to 600k and take the approximate US population to be 300M, then that would give a 2% overall homeless population.
2% of 300M is 6M (6 million). So the percentage is closer to 0.2%.
Also the percentage is useless without a comparison to Israel. The 2,250 number represents about 0.02% of their population! So still a massive difference, based on those numbers.
Students and the elderly absolutely pay taxes. There are handful of exemptions they might claim, but not for sales tax, gas tax, even property tax is just a reduced rate for seniors but students have it factored into their rent just like everyone else
What's the point of this meme? You're funding Israel so they can have nice things? And that's why you can't have them? lol
From a European perspective I'd say you're kinda neglecting the fact that you'd still be able to have these nice things regardless. Don't blame Israel for your own unwillingness. You're just choosing not to have them.
Probably unpopular fact to mention but Israel has to spend all of the money in the USA. It's not making any new jobs in Israel, but only new jobs in the USA.
I guess the US could achieve these goals too if they did not try to prevent healthcare, free education at any cost.
Israel is not able to do this due to funding, but because they decided to use their money for this.
Works fine with Europe and other developed countries vs US. These things are mostly an us problem. Homelessness isn't scaled per capita so there's no way to draw any conclusion from that.
That being said, I think it's stupid that we pay Israel anything, but "muh jews / muh holy land" I guess *shug*. Double true when they get defense hand-me-downs and aid since forever. Anything bad that happens to-or any negative thoughts about --Israel are obviously antisemitism though so please feel free to disregard.
