We should legalize the n word, the c word, and I'm basically a free speech absolutist. Eventually being pro life for instance would be viewed as hate speech towards women. People who believe that hate speech should be banned are trying to set a very dangerous precedent that they don't suffer from.

The way I see it:
In the 1810s, blacks were slaves.
In the 1910s, blacks were 2nd class citizens.
In the 2010s, they got equal rights in pretty much everything.
If we continue this trend, will blacks eventually have more rights than whites? Will whites eventually be enslaved in the name of social justice? Many people think I'm crazy, but I don't see an end to black people getting rights, even if it's more rights than white people get legally. The N word is a start. Then they will say we can't rap. Then they will say we can't have fun because of so called, "White privilige". Next, it's going to be something more serious, such as a white person tax that white people have to pay. When will this end?

For example, where do you get this money to hire people to go to homeless people and show them your sheet?
It's in sheet 37.
What if a large number of the homeless refuse the significant portion of the jobs on your sheet?
There's 90 jobs on the list. They would need a good reason to reject all 90 jobs.
What if they don't have the skills--barring employee training programs
Employers have training programs for prospective employees already put in place. If they don't have the skills for one job, then they try a different job. There's 90 jobs on the list. They'll find something that they like.
As I understand and learned, population increase would lead to an increase supply of labor, not necessarily an increased demand for it.
It leads to both. If you work for a nuclear power plant for instance, as the population triples, the energy demands triple as well. As that happens, the number of people who need to manage the energy supply also needs to triple. This is explained by the fact that the US population is growing, but unemployment is going down. This is because job count tends to go up with population increase. More people means more jobs that need to be filled, but also it means more jobs available for people. Otherwise as the US population increases, unemployment would almost always increase with it.
Wouldn't the increasing population worsen crowding?
If the US had 1 billion people in it, it's population density would be around 100 people per km2. To put that into perspective, the population density of the UK is roughly 3x this. The UK isn't exactly the most crowded place in the world, and America's population density would still be a third of that.
Wouldn't the government be provoked into subsidizing additional labor?
With the exception of federal employees, how?
No, the average "household" saves at least 10% of their earnings if they're in the middle/upper middle class/rich income bracket.
If your middle class or rich, your saving more than 10% probably.
Your plan is targeting the poor.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13C09M6rSyjeQKNWXh_hG-9MreNwat2vEZVfO4E1zZKY/edit#gid=320988619 shows how the poor can afford this (B114).
Who's selling stock? How did they get the stock to start? Can they afford to purchase stock? (Penny stocks excluded of course.)
Whoever had the stock to begin with. The poor, if they pursue my plan would get enough money from their jobs to buy stock.
I'd say $60,000 per year is a fair salary. It's not going to be expensive.$60,000 x 5000 = $300,000,000 a year for doing three months work. That's not expensive?
I said $60,000 per year. Given that they are working 3 months, every homeless liberator gets $15,000 for helping out 100 homeless people.
15000* 5000 (the number of liberators) = 75 million. For the federal government, this is not expensive; about 25 cents per taxpayer.
Wait, so your calculation presumes that each homeless person will be dragged out poverty in a single day's time?
My calculation assumes that the homeless person gets hooked up with a job opportunity on the first day, they take their time with the courses, all with the government taking a hands off approach to the person's progress out of poverty except for asking questions if they get stuck on the way, then a homeless liberator helps them out with advice and potentially whatever they need. It only takes one day to sign up for a course, and then the homeless person does pretty much the rest.
If you're removing income tax, then how does that result in "more taxation for the government"?
Sales tax and capitol gains tax. These taxes are harder to dodge for immigrants and rich people, and given that our population would skyrocket with open borders, we can have less taxes but more government revenue because there would be more salaries paying taxes to the government.
Will sales tax and capital gains tax provide the revenue the government solicits to meet its obligations?
According to my calculations, yes.
Furthermore, if savings are to increase, wouldn't tax revenue from sales tax decrease?
No because the poor would get better jobs that increase their overall salary. Some of the money they would spend on better nesseseties, some they would spend on luxuries, some on investments. These all would get taxed one way or another. Some they save, but there's more money overall in their checkbooks so they can do more things with it.

@blamonkey
SAMSHA reports that 26% of the homeless population suffers from a mental illness and 35% had a substance abuse disorder (6).
I wouldn't call a mental illness something that necessarily prevents someone from getting a job. Many autistic people have gotten jobs just fine. If they have a substance abuse disorder, we ban welfare but encourage rehabilitation for them so they can get better jobs once they aren't dependent on drugs anymore. If drugs ruin your life, get off of them. If you need help, we can use the Portuguese method. I've heard that worked in getting people off of drugs, and back to normalcy.
Moreover, many jobs require permanent addresses, which the homeless do not have
I think I know a way for them to get addresses in 3 steps.
1) The government spends $60 billion building apartment buildings or other shelters. This amounts to $120,000 per house, which might be done if construction companies make the houses in masses for the government.
2) The homeless and the government strike a deal, in exchange for the government letting the homeless stay at a government built and owned house for 2 months(and food for those 2 months), the homeless simply have to give 500 ml of blood; enough to save 2 lives on average. They save 2 people's lives from the blood; and the government sells the blood for $3000 per 500 ml unit to whoever wants it. 60,000 people a year die from lack of blood. All of these deaths can be eliminated if we get the homeless to be productive to society. Once they have a job and if they don't want to give blood anymore for free room and board, they can either pay rent or pay a mortgage to eventually own their house.
3) With their new shelter that they rented, they can apply for a job. They get hired if they are qualified for the job. They get a good salary from that job and would have the option at buying the shelter from the government with a mortgage or in flat out cash if they save.
employers maintain negative views of the homeless and formerly homeless.
If they did, I think they would ask this question on job forms. I haven't encountered a question like, "Do you have a history of homelessness?".
So, when asking about permanent transportation and housing on applications, they tend to "follow up" with additional questions to ascertain whether an applicant has lived in an address for more than a few years, or if they have a car
What incentive would they have to reject ex homeless people who aren't homeless anymore?
Even the recently homeless are affected due to intrusive background checks into people's housing history (8).
Why do these exist?
The number of jobs is not unlimited (as Athias has already pointed out) and the kicker is that we don't know how many people are actually homeless.
Kyle Kullinski has repeatedly claimed the number is 500,000. He's a social democrat, so his numbers are going to be high. He's a smart guy, so he probably used sources that were reliable. Maybe the study was done in April, when the homeless are more likely to be outside.
The number of jobs is not unlimited
It's not unlimited, but based off of my research, there are enough jobs. The University of Georgetown confirmed 13 million jobs that exist that pay $55K or more per year. If we are more lenient and include jobs that pay $45K/year or more, this number increases. Given that there are only 500,000 homeless according to Kyle Kullunski, all of the homeless can be easily incorporated into these jobs.
More to the point, while some jobs don't necessarily require degrees, won't these better educated Americans be in direct competition with the homeless? Who do you think they are going to hire, someone with an Associate's degree, or someone who shows up to a job interview who looks like they're homeless, and outright admit they don't have a permanent address?
I think the employers would hire both people assuming they are trained for the job given that the more employees they have, the more products they can make and the more money they generate for themselves and their shareholders.
Instead, programs to rehabilitate and train homeless for jobs
These I support.
providing tax breaks to firms that hire homeless people
I fail to see what's stopping them from doing this on their own? If a homeless person looks well groomed on their interview day, they're probably getting the job once they have a shelter that the government could rent them in exchange for them giving enough blood to save people.
and providing direct assistance (cash based or otherwise) should exist
This has been tried for 50 years, and it has stagnated the poverty rate that would have otherwise continued to fall.
and should be trying to place their clients in jobs and permanent abodes.
If the homeless earn this, this is fine.

How does one show them?
I would hire people to go to homeless people and show them this sheet:
in order to get them out of poverty.
And how do you prevent crowding, or is the supply of available positions in this higher yielding jobs unlimited?
The # of jobs I don't think is unlimited, but it easily would increase with the increase in population. As our population triples, the demand for every job would triple as well, so things cancel out.
How much do they save and how much do they spend?
Up to them, but the average person saves 10% of their earnings and spends and invests the rest. Some more, some less.
How much is allocated to both short term and long term savings? Where do they invest?
Up to the individual. Anytime they sell the stock, they pay the capitol gains tax, which isin't much.
How much do you pay the federal agents?
I'd say $60,000 per year is a fair salary. It's not going to be expensive.
Is that how long you anticipate it'll take to get the homeless out of poverty? Please elaborate on how you did your calculation.
There are 500,000 homeless people in the US. 5000 homeless rescuers (maybe I should pick a better term), each getting 1 homeless person out of poverty per day should take 100 days, or basically 3 months to do.
What is the benefit of that particular income bracket if they're going to be taxed out of it?
It's to show people that look at the sheet that there would be no income tax in my plan. A sales tax and a capitol gains tax is all that is necessary.

The thing is, the rape victims would do the vote, but only the women with the top 50% most amount of votes or some percentage like that actually get believed, so it forces the jury to decide which cases are true and which are fabricated. Not all the women who vote would vote in favor of the woman. YeshuaBought was raped and she didn't believe the Kavenough accuser and she's a centrist.

known number of species of said animals on earth at this time, which is approximately 1.2 million
It's more than this. It's 6.5 million land species. Species take a long time to form.
I don't see that many animals fitting on a boat 1/3 the size of the titanic.
The size of Noah's ark is about 120 meters x, 20 meters wide, and 12 meters high Noah's ark, yielding 2880 cubic meters of space. The titanic was about 4632.8 cubic meters in space. It's still smaller than the titanic and the titanic couldn't store all those animals.

They already donate fetal bodyparts.
The fetus is innocent; they shouldn't be donated to causes. The women who did the abortion should be punished, but since she killed the kid for a better reason than a murderer kills someone, I'd make the penalty less; they should give 250 ml of blood 6 weeks after the abortion because if they take an innocent life in the manner they did, they should be forced to save an innocent life. Hopefully, the libs would agree to this.

Abortion is also considerably more profitable as an industry than contraception. Planned Parenthood has no incentive to reduce abortions.
For some reason or another, abortion rates have been going down consistently year after year and I don't see them going up anytime soon. Panned parenthood has been reducing abortions in the form of making better contraception. I don't know any other causes of how the abortion rate has consistently gone down year after year.
When a democrat was in office, the abortion rates fell more than when a republican was in office, probably because the democrat was more willing to fund planned parenthood and planned parenthood used the money to make better contraception.
https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/abortion-rate-declined/ states that abortion rates have declined more under democratic presidencies than GOP ones, probably because the democrats funded birth control more.
https://www.usnews.com/news/data-mine/articles/2018-03-21/abortion-rates-where-and-why-theyre-falling shows developed, pro birth control countries having more of an abortion drop than developing, anti-birth control countries.
So, lets give planned parenthood more money, let them use it to make better contraception, and let the abortion rates fall on their own.

Yes, but 40% of households earn an amount below that.
It's more than that, but if a household earns below $45 K per year, the low income people get shown where the better paying jobs are that are attainable for them as a means of increasing their salary and getting them out of poverty. This would be more effective than the counterproductive war on poverty.
How does one direct these individuals to spend and invest?
When people have excess money, they spend some of it and they invest some of it. Some of it they would save, and I factored that in the tax plan.
"Only a college degree"? Who pays for the education? Who shows them where these better paying jobs are?
"Only a college degree" was a typo. I meant to say Jobs that pay well that don't require a college degree. I don't know how the typo came to exist. I'd have federal agents show the homeless people where the better paying jobs are that don't require a college degree. There's only half a million homeless in existence. Hiring 5000 federal agents to get the homeless out of poverty should take a little more than 3 months if each federal agent liberates 1 homeless person from poverty by showing them where better high school grad jobs are. The jobs are in a sheet. The homeless merely pick their favorite job from the list.
I made a sheet for what those jobs would beWhere?
And once again, if one's going to tax, then what's the point of providing the taxable portion?
What do you mean from this?

I think the reason why virtually every country has debt is because most countries are creditors as well as nations that owe money.

Planned parenthood already has more than enough funds for free contraception.
I mean, they use the funds to make better contraception, since condoms aren't 100% effective. Nice thing is though, abortions are going down and I don't see them going up anytime soon. If we pay them the money, they probably would use it for contraception development.
My idea is if they commit abortion, they should give 250 ml of blood; the amount necessary to save someone else. Take a life, save a life.

If we skyrocket funds to planned parenthood, they would use the money for contraception which can reduce abortions by up to 98.9%. Because of this, I'm pro life, and would punish abortion, but I would skyrocket funds to planned parenthood so they develop much better contraception.

According to the Jewish calendar, 5778 is the number of years since Adam's sin. 5778-2020=3758 years before Christ. Moses was alive like 1500 years after Adam I think, so he built the ark around 2000 BC. Maybe a bit earlier, but nowhere near 6000 BCE as what the article claimed.

Well you know you aren't required to believe it, it won't change your relation or beliefs in God. So, it doesn't really matter whether it happened or not
It does because if the story is fake, its grounds to assume the whole bible is fake.
there is no useful information in the Bible either, but you aren't required to believe in the Noah's Ark account as a literal account.
There is useful information in the bible, but I can take what I like from the bible and ignore the rest if I'm not Christian. If I was Christian, I would have to obey the bible as much as plausible, otherwise I'd be afraid of hell.

Your plan to get the U.S. out of debt is to spend more money?
Currently, the US's GDP per capita is $60,000 per year. The healthcare bonus would be the amount of additional salary that employers would have to pay their employees because they wouldn't have to pay for their healthcare with a UHC system. Some of the money would get spent on UHC, but the rest of it the individuals would use for spending and investing, both of which would be subject to tax.
Subsidy is the wrong term. Since any adult making less than $45K per year would be shown where better paying jobs are that only require a college degree (I made a sheet for what those jobs would be), whatever job they pick would yield a higher salary if its from the list, and this would mean that it would inevitably directly or indirectly result in more taxation from the government.
