I just had a thought...
Nobody has a choice on where they're born or even being born in general. Nobody has a choice in the fact that shelter is pretty essential for survival.
Yet we have to pay to keep a roof over our heads or be forced to live on the streets, where you can be arrested for vagrancy.
vagrancy - noun
Definition : The state of living as a vagrant; homelessness.
Aside from paying to take up space in the place we were forced to come into existence in, we also have to pay taxes for the privilege of not dying from exposure.
I get that there are homeless shelters and programs to help people in hard times. That people abuse the system to avoid honest work, as well as better living conditions should cost more.
But think of this. There are more empty and abandoned houses in the USA then there are homeless people. In my old neighborhood 1-4 houses were empty.
Just something to think about I guess.
