A lot of our homeless choose to be homeless they have shelters but a lot choose to stay on the street plus you can't be drunk and get into the shelter but I can think of a good reason for that. But if you really want to get off the streets them people working in homeless shelters will help a lot they will give you a cell phone and foodstamps but you got to want to get your shit together.
Children under the poverty line also live a lot nicer in America than most countries unless the mother is a junky using welfare and foodstamps to get drugs but they get charged with neglect if caught and children get taken away. But we can't just house every junky nobody wants their apartment building to turned into a shooting gallery.
I talked to a lot of bums in Daytona Beach,FL all drunks and crack heads from what I seen and panhandling can't walk one block without someone asking for change and they actually make decent money more than enough to eat but drugs are more important they go to some place to eat in town for homeless people. It's very much a choice for everyone I met they all got a sob story but they are not incapable of work if they where Social Security and housing projects are an option certainly not so much in Mexico.
But children even on foodstamps and all they still have access to government food absolutely garbage but it is food. But not much you can do about it as well as public school and free lunch.
You're right, alot of people in America make terrible decisions. It's a down fall of our country and sad. But, even so that our homeless and children in poverty are in better shape than other terrible countries, it doesn't change the fact that if there are so many people with this homeless mindset, who don't care, living here, it will only continue to perpetuate our downfall. It won't get better, that's a fact. It may take a long time to become a ruined country, but we are starting down that path.
There's not much difference between our modern day society and the roman empire. And the Roman Empire crumbled. We basically utilize the same tax system. Our whole government is similar. It's only a matter of time.
That's why I think we should have a say as to where and how our tax money goes and is used. Why anyone thinks that is a bad Idea is beyond me.
If you had a friend that came by every week asking for money, wouldn't you ask for what they need it for? And if it was every single week, they came by, and said it was for food, would you not just buy them food so you're certain the money is going for food?
It's like our government has a drug problem and is asking it's kids for money every week with out giving an exact reason they need it.
What is the black budget all about? If we're paying for it shouldnt we have a little clue about it?
I'm sick of it, that's one thing I know.
Obviously we need roads and police, MedicareMedicare, social security (which is bullshit it doesn't go to a escrow account).. Why am I paying my grandma's social security when she paid in 50 years ago with her own money? Should the money I put in go towards my ss account? Oh, that's right. The government thought it was OK stealing everyone's money and now it's a pyramid scheme.
Anyone that thinks I'm crazy and stupid for thinking we the people should have a say in what taxes are used for has serious mental issues.. I just didn't realize it was so many people in America that had mental issues, but that will be another factor in the decline. All of my friends think they should have a say where their tax money goes, so maybe the people that think differently should get a cat scan.
