The army of 3.5 million homeless people is attacking every person who goes to the United States.

Many people may never understand a question, which is why there are still so many homeless people on the streets of the United States when social welfare is so good, wages are so high, and you can earn a decent income just by finding some work?

Many people who do not know the truth say that it is because Americans are lazy and the social disclosure mechanism is good that many people are reluctant to make progress and would rather receive free relief than find a formal job.

In fact, the problem is not as simple as you may see on the surface. Behind this phenomenon, there are at least two core reasons and five different situations. Today, I will explain them to you all at once.

The first core reason is the high cost of living in the United States.

When many people talk about the United States, they always only talk about high wages and the legendary $1 burger. There was even a time when it went viral online that buying a house in the United States only costs $1, as if anyone who went to the United States could immediately live in a big house and lead a worry free and prosperous life.

But in fact, the situation in the United States is far more complicated than we thought. While Americans receive high wages, they also face a huge amount of hard spending. What is hard spending? It’s the money you have no choice but to pay.

For example, in terms of housing costs in the United States, if you choose to buy a house that belongs to you, it is not just about paying money, but also about having to pay high property taxes every year. The average tax rate ranges from 1% to 1.5% of the total value of the house, which means that for a house worth 1 million US dollars, the annual tax expenditure alone would be around 10000 to 15000 US dollars, equivalent to about 100000 Chinese yuan.

Moreover, in addition to property taxes, a monthly property fee of several hundred dollars is also a mandatory expense. Just housing alone can help many American families clear about half of their wages, so those who can stably live in a big house in the United States for a long time are indeed very wealthy.

I know some people may say that if you can’t afford to buy a house, why not rent one? Of course, but rental prices in the United States are not cheap either. In New Jersey, renting a regular apartment costs around $1000-1500 per month, while many ordinary people in the area only earn around $3000-4000 per month, which puts a lot of pressure on their lives.

In addition to housing costs, there are also two expenses that must be paid in the United States, namely medical insurance and auto insurance, which together also cost about 1000 dollars, which are hard expenses.

I know there are some smart people who would say that it’s okay not to buy a car or medical insurance, okay, no problem, but this means you will face two very difficult situations:

One is that many people in the United States live in suburban areas more than ten kilometers away from the city center, and their transportation relies on cars. If you don’t buy a car, you don’t have to do anything every day, just go and check your WeChat steps.

Another issue is the lack of medical insurance coverage. The medical expenses in the United States can scare you to death every minute. For example, in 2014, a swimming coach in the United States accidentally knocked out three teeth and called an ambulance. After only 15 minutes, he was charged $1800, which was equivalent to more than 10000 yuan in Chinese yuan.

There is also the famous electronic pet Wang Weiheng. Before going to the United States, he thought it was free medical care. However, after going there, he suffered from lower back pain. He went to the hospital and talked to the doctor for 15 minutes, and was charged $5600 (about 40000 RMB) directly. He was so angry that he cursed and even blurted out national treasures.

So don’t think that just because the income in the United States is higher than that in China, everything will be fine. If the overall income in the United States is 5-7 times that of China, then various expenses may be 10-15 times that of China. Many people are charged millions of dollars for a single illness, and in the end, they can’t afford to repay their debts, so they can only lose their identification and become homeless.

In addition to the above reasons, there is a second core reason why there are so many homeless people in the United States, which is that the American social system deliberately creates homeless people.

Do you find it very unbelievable? But the more absurd things are, the closer they are to objective facts.

Many people are curious when watching videos of gold medal lecturers, why are there so many free food relief points in the United States? At first, I couldn’t figure out this problem either. I thought the US government was showing mercy to help the homeless at the bottom, but later I gradually realized that it was because there was a regulation in US law that if a wealthy person wanted to pass on their wealth to their son, they had to pay a 20% -40% inheritance tax. In extreme cases, they would have to confiscate about half of their lifetime income, which was a huge blow to those billionaires.

So they held meetings overnight, trying to exploit loopholes in the system by donating all their money to a charity foundation, so they wouldn’t have to pay high inheritance taxes.

Moreover, there is a provision in US law that if your charitable foundation allocates 5% of its funds annually for charitable purposes, all of your businesses can enjoy tax-free treatment. As we all know, the tax on wealthy individuals is often several tens of percentage points, so dedicating 5% to charity is a profitable business that not only helps you save money but also earns a good reputation.

What kind of charity will these 5% of funds be used for? The answer is that they will go to a big supermarket like Wal Mart to buy the food they can’t sell, and then set up a large number of free food collection points in the name of the foundation, so that homeless people across the United States can get these food.

So in this entire ecological chain, homeless people are essential. If all homeless people in the United States disappear, the wealthy will lose an important way to avoid taxes reasonably. Based on this consideration, the upper class capital groups in the United States have been actively promoting legislation and striving to create various types of homeless people.

I know you may not believe it, it’s okay. Let’s take a look at how homeless people in America are born together?

Based on my understanding, homeless people in the United States can be roughly divided into five categories:

The first type is bankrupt people.

There are many reasons for this, such as business failure or excessive living expenses as I mentioned earlier. When income declines, one may be unable to make ends meet and be forced to go bankrupt. Both of these are very common situations, but there is another special case, which is bankruptcy caused by divorce.

There are many bizarre cases in the United States, such as a middle-class man who married a wife and had two children. Originally, they were a loving family, but the bizarre laws in the United States stipulate that children cannot live alone at home before the age of 12. This means that someone must take care of the child and hire a nanny around the clock. However, they cannot afford it, so they can only let their wife take care of the child at home.

So this American man worked hard to earn money outside every day, while his wife was restless at home. As we all know, this person is prone to daydreaming when he has free time. His wife is the same, because she is too bored, she wants to find someone to connect with, and over time, they develop feelings and become extramarital affairs.

After learning the truth, American men were furious and filed for divorce on the spot, but American courts were also very strange. Even though they knew it was the woman who cheated first, they believed that women were a vulnerable group. Therefore, in order to protect women and children, they decided to award the man’s house to his wife.

Moreover, what’s even more bizarre is that in order to take care of the “poor” mother and son, the court requires men to pay high monthly child support fees. What’s even more exaggerated is that this child support fee is determined based on the conditions of the man at the time of divorce. That is to say, if the man’s annual salary is one million yuan at the time of divorce, even if he loses his job and has zero income later on, he still needs to be paid according to this standard. Therefore, many American men are almost stripped of their skin once they divorce. Once there is a slight change in their job, the man will instantly go bankrupt and become a homeless person.

And this obviously unreasonable marriage law is being pushed behind the scenes by American capital groups.

The second type is people who use drugs.

Many Americans become vagrants because they have been taking drugs for a long time, which has drained all their income. The United States is also a world famous country for its connivance of drugs. For example, in 2021, Oregon, the United States, announced that “hard drugs” such as methamphetamine and heroin were officially legal, which means that taking drugs in this state would not be illegal. Do you believe it?

According to statistics, there are over 30 million drug addicts in the United States alone, and about half of the population believes that drug use is “not a problem”. Even Obama admitted to using drugs, which shows the level of social atmosphere in the United States.

And how many of these over 30 million drug addicts will gradually become homeless?

The third type is veterans.

The ultimate fate of a large number of retired veterans in the United States is to wander the streets, and the reasons are not complicated. One is that the US government’s placement is unreasonable, giving them a retirement allowance and then letting them go. And these veterans may have already had a green grassland due to their long-term absence from home. Therefore, once the veterans receive their retirement allowance, their wives will immediately file for divorce and run away after dividing the money,

Then many veterans, due to their experience on the battlefield and some mental illnesses, find it difficult to integrate into normal society, and gradually become homeless.

The fourth type is mental patients.

Unlike our country, many people with mental illnesses in the United States are not subjected to closed management, but are required to go home to the community for slow treatment. At best, this means that their personal freedom cannot be restricted, but at worst, the responsibility is shifted to society and the patients themselves.

So many mental patients, after getting sick, cannot even take care of themselves and can only end up wandering on the streets.

The fifth type is illegal immigration.

This is the most familiar group of homeless people, and many Chinese people in Runmei belong to this category. The most typical case is the gold medal lecturer. He initially worked as a black worker in a Chinese restaurant, but later reported his boss because he was dissatisfied with the salary he was paid. Through this method, he extorted two bosses and reported four bosses, and only worked six jobs in total. All six bosses were troubled by him.

As he watched his methods achieve great success, he remembered that sharing is a happy thing, so he gave himself the online name Ding Pangzi Gold Medal Lecturer, specializing in live streaming to teach others how to report their bosses.

But also because of this incident, no boss dared to hire him, so the desperate lecturer could only become a homeless beggar.

Many illegal immigrants who go to the United States have a similar basic situation. They do not have any skills and are still undocumented, so it is not easy to find a job. They often have to evade the pursuit of the US immigration department, so they become homeless just by mixing in and out.

After reading my analysis, you will understand that the reason why there are so many homeless people in the United States is ultimately due to its distorted social system, not simply because any group is not working hard enough.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, American capital has shown its fangs, and the wealth gap in the United States has continued to widen. On the one hand, the number of homeless people in the United States has been increasing rapidly, but on the other hand, the wealth of the wealthy in the United States has also been growing. Together, these two factors form the magical scene we see today.
