The Tax Scam w/

Sen. Warren whispered her real favorite KZbinr after the interview btw.

 KZbin is making non-skippable ads mandatory, so I’m cutting all ads out of my videos moving forward. This impacts my revenue but it’s worth it. Consider supporting as a channel member or Patreon subscriber to keep us going: fanlink.tv/camjames

I am hearing a lot of T voters who are now regretting their decision. I may be mistaken, but isn't their something in American legislation where a re-vote can be instated?

[@Thanoshadapoint]

@@OneHundredEnvelopesFun fact, republicans tried this in the 70s with Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. Voter’s remorse isn’t enough to cause a revote though and some states don’t have a revote/recall process at all.

When I left Portland, OR, in December 2022 my two bedroom apartment downtown had gone up to $2,400/mo. Electricity, water/sewer & garbage were included, parking ($130/mo) and internet were not. Now I live in a beautiful hotel in Mexico for $600/mo, with everything included. I’m grateful for the work you’re doing Cam to make it so people can afford to stay in the US if they have to, or want to, and I’m headed over to Patreon rn!

If I wanted to rent my house, it would be more than half my monthly pay. This is not sustainable. This is going to break down at some point.

[@MightBeAPizza]

My rent including parking, internet and water in Chicago is about $2,900. I'm not sure if rent prices will ever go down, but if they can stabilize and we experience wage growth then that's perhaps the "best" solution under our current economic system. Almost all apartments being built are labeled as "luxury" these days as developers throw the term around loosely to charge insane rents. The "luxury" market will continue to climb in prices, and once the newer supply is rendered "old" the prices will stabilize as new product is brought online. But again, don't anticipate prices to fall IMO.

My rent has gone from $700 in 2017 to $1200 as of this year. This is for a 1 bedroom 400sqft apartment with no W/D. There are areas worse for sure, but it continues to go up, and my states politicians still don't think we're at a point they need to enforce better housing policies. That thinking may have been ok 10 years ago, but it's long since passed.

[@Necromas]

My rent in a pretty cheap area in a Minneapolis suburb for a 2 bedroom apartment was about $1,150/mo when we moved out in 2023. We got really lucky though that the landlords seemed to like us and our rent only went up about 10-15% from when we moved there in 2015. They're listing the same unit layout at $1,300+ on their website now, and our neighbors in buildings a few blocks down saw their rents go up 40%+ over the same period.

[@Soundsliketara]

I love to see the progression of your content 🎉🎉

[@RinnRuannan]

Rent. In 2022 the property management of the building where I live was moved by the owners from a local company to a regional corporation. Rent had remained the same under the local company. The corporation has raised rent for each of their three years. Additional fees with corporate management: 4-5 times fee over the actual usage for water; 3% of the total monthly rent is charged to pay the rent; plus an additional $6 "convenience fee" to pay rent. And it is all legal in this state (as far as I have been able to see). Yeah.

I dont disagree with your position but the "so the next guy can have a chance" argument is so hollow and meaningless . Like what is the chance is it some bureaucratic forms and appeoval for low income like food stamps? What is it? Concrete awesers and what policies they would implement. Its just such an empty promise i dont think they would ever push a policy through that helps the regular americans. That being said tax the rich

[@CamJames]

Those programs being expanded is a start. Food stamps and low income tax credits are life savers for a lot of people I've known, including close family members. The amount of wealth being vacuumed up by the rich is a fundamental threat to the stability of everyone underneath.

This was great, but i would've like to see you ask those questions to those in Congress that wouldn't have just validated your\our preexisting common ideology on taxes and housing. It would have been helpful to see the conservatives confronted with some of these questions and ideologies to see what they think of said problems, proposed solutions and then to answer for what they think are solutions. To be fair\honest though, we probably know the answers\deflections they'd answer with.
