California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposes slashing millions from 'public safety' as the Democratic state grapples with a massive budget deficit totaling $37.9 billion.
I am not flexing at all. It is what it is. You haven’t touched a nerve at all. Low-income people don’t grasp how much we pay in taxes since they don’t pay anything close to what we pay in taxes. It’s why they repeat buzzwords like tax the rich or the rich don’t pay their fair share when we do.
It refutes your statement because you didn’t cite anything and just babbled. You are free to post a counter cite.
Also your claim about private prisons was wrong as well. About 8% of the prison population is in a private prison.
Hahaha I know the 8% figure you’re talking about and it’s not that.
No you don’t. As you are wrong once again. The total prison population of private prisons is 8%.
Private for-profit prisons incarcerated 90,873 American residents in 2022, representing 8% of the total state and federal prison population. Since 2000, the number of people housed in private prisons has increased 5%.

I know we are not in the same bracket. Not even close. Not in income or wealth. If you have to work to make a living then we are not in the same boat.

No, the article very clearly shows you are wrong.
You said the majority of prisoners were going to private prisons. That is false.
