...but think of the billionaires, then they couldn't buy politicians, control the media, and buy bigger yachts.

Yes. I don't remember the name of the civilization, but there was an entirely "peaceful" society that existed for several hundred years, until Christopher Columbus showed up, and raped and murdered them all.

You wanna know what else makes billionaires billions of dollars? A strong middle class...the one with a lot of disposable income to, you guessed it, spend on goods and services!
Make enough affordable reliable cars then people with the disposable income will buy a new one every 5ish years and then the secondary used car market has good reliable cars to sell
Every dollar the "middle class" has in disposable income is a dollar the billionaires didn't hold onto.
But I don't want money in 5 years, I want it now!

SHOULD be obvious
Lessening crime was never thier objective, it's just a double speak in support of the prison system.
Create conditions for "have nots" to be drawn to crime
Arrest them
Have a penal system that utilizes their labor

What you people don't understand is that this is the right wing plan to introduce neoslavery with extra steps. As they continue to gut the government and safeguards, they're going to lean HARD into prison labor and detainment camp labor to replace migrant labor and working poor labor.
It's based on their percept that they're superior and the people that end up here are subhuman, so they deserve to be slaves to enhance their supremacy.

Yes, but no one can get fabulously rich off this.
My two thoughts on this:
-
If I ask people for a million dollars to higher cops they'll give it to me easy, if I ask for 100k to reduce crime through community outreach - it's a huge fight
-
That experiment where a class needs to unanimously agree to all recieve 98% final grade but 30% of them absolutely refuse to give themselves a leg up if that also means someone else gets it and they didn't work as hard.
