Homeless Suffer In San Francisco, Dianne Feinstein Is Rich, Tax Her Wealth To Help, It Is Only Fair
We trip over them on the sidewalk every day. We curse, hand them a dollar, or don’t. We feel pity, guilt and rage at their presence. The city spends $200 million a year trying to get homeless people off the streets and into a better way of life – but over 20 years, the problem has only gotten worse.
The more able of the homeless find their way into shelters, counseling and housing programs. But the most chronically indigent, called the hard core, steadfastly refuse most help and stay outside. These 3,000 to 5,000 homeless at the very bottom are the most visible, and they give the city its dubious distinction of having what many call the worst homeless problem in the country. SF Chronicle
Dianne Feinstein is stupid rich. According to opensecrets.org her net worth is somewhere between $52,344,301 and $115,998,023. That’s nearly $116 MILLION Dollars! She ranks 6th among all members of the Senate.
While Dianne sleeps snugly in her comfortable mansion San Francisco’s homeless trudge hopelessly through the streets, pushing shopping carts, eating from dumpsters, or if lucky, getting relief from one of the city’s homeless shelters.
Maybe she doesn’t give to charity, maybe she does, but how much money does a person need? The government should take some of Dianne Feinstein’s considerable wealth and use to to fund relief for the city’s homeless. It’s a matter of fairness.
