The few mega-billionaire ass----- who don’t pay any taxes in this country could end homelessness. They could probably end poverty too. Worldwide!
Why don’t they? Greed.
They can never be rich enough. Once upon a time, Kurt Vonnegut wrote about an experience he had with Joseph Heller:
“True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.
I said, ‘Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22’
has earned in its entire history?’
And Joe said, ‘I’ve got something he can never have.’
And I said, ‘What on earth could that be, Joe?’
And Joe said, ‘The knowledge that I’ve got enough.’
Not bad! Rest in peace!”
