why do homeless cats get better medical care than homeless people? steven king suggested an answer in the same rant i cited a few posts ago. it's because places like the humane society are funded by the donations of rich folks. whereas homeless shelters for people are paid for by tax dollars. i make fun of people who bitch about problems then fail to propose a solution. so how would one rid the world of this unjust inequality? well, the eat less and exercise more solution would be to raise taxes on people rich enough to donate amounts that pay for buildings. but nobody likes that type of solution. so maybe we make complicated rules about matching donations. or pro-rate the donation tax credit based on benefit to human beings. or we go the other way. cut taxes on people who donate buildings for cats so they have enough money to donate buildings for people too. course what'll really happen is the homeless folks will die. but then homeless cats will have plenty to eat.
