    no, increasing taxes on the wealthy, while simultaneously funding the IRS to go after white collar tax cheats, would 100% fix the problem.

      And this would somehow cause a significant number of houses to be built? And if people have more money thru distribution of some sort, would they work harder to build more houses? If they don’t, how does this help?

        One way to spot a troll is that they quickly change arguments to avoid accountability. Like how you start by saying that taxation can’t fix the problem and when someone disagrees instead of pulling out data and digging into why, you instead randomly pivot to housing availability, which is currently also a problem related to finances, but distinctly separate from taxation strategies.

        I don’t blame this person for not wanting to waste time engaging with you.

        after perusing your other comments, I’ve come to the conclusion that you’re a disingenuous right wing troll. I don’t care to educate you on something you’ll more than likely ignore.

        Taxes could pay for government hired construction workers/companies to build government funded housing. Easy, try another goal post

            Construction workers are people who work in the field of construction. Framers, tapers, plumbers, electricians, etc.
