[glacier1978]

[Tootallspottery]

[moleymole100]

[Hero2many]

I wonder if you gave him a job if he'd even show up on time or at all.

[MegaBigCack]

dddeeey toookk arreee jobbsss

[dreamihad]

Bad move moving to Vegas, unemployment capital of the world

[AndallthatRush]

Yay for Americans and keeping jobs here. Wish I could help somehow 

[lester5192]

Just cuz he cant prevent from going homeless doesnt mean we all can.

[ORENGEcarot]

this is really cool !!! i wish i could help !

[lookatthatjew]

My thoughts have always been "O he's homeless, he must of done drugs or hes an alchoholic" but watching your videos has changed the way I look at the homeless. And I just want to thank you for that. Now every morning when my dad takes me to school along the way there is a park with homeless men and i'll have my dad make a couple extra servings of whatever it is he made for breakfast, and I will give it to those men at the park so they don't have to go through the morning without breakfast. TY

@lookatthatjew thats very kind of you and your father. you have a great heart and that good karma will come back to you, sounds like you show altruism and thats wonderful, some homeless are indeed druggies or alcoholics, some aren't, some very rich people are addicted to drugs, prescription and street drugs, coke, xanax, ambien, etc. some people just dont have that support, Ive known people who live w family, others dont have that, getting a job when ur on the Streets if really tough

[mjccmc82]

@lookatthatjew thats very kind of you; altruistic, that'll come back to you in the form of karma

[Kelly6758]

the song is from Criminal Minds!

[Monasou]

Fucking amazing.

[samkangus]

Thanks for showing these great interviews. Hopefully some of the people that ignore the homeless American situation will take a few moments and obtain some knowledge here.

[brossom4]

Thank you!!!! So sad though:(

[getdrunkkkk]

Its awesome that you're spreading the love and word. Keep it up! Anybody with common decency supports what you are doing.

[liplap008]

Make more!

[moviemanstan]

they took ourr jebssss

[zoretta1]

The American people do not want a solution. Because like you say people think that it can not happen to them. But the problem can be solve by the government putting boots on the ground to solve some of these problems and stop with all the silly tricks. We need right now to help all American people who want to work get back to work. To raise to tax money that the government waste.

Thank You For Speaking Up!

Thank you for posting these. These are stories that should be heard

[hordeshunter]

love your vidoes, really educating



[miserkocho]

ok assuming money is god,the purpose of life is to work and have a job,buy useless stuff etc.this may pass as common sense.if this guy made minimum wage and lived in a small apartment he would still be miserable.

the 1 person you fall back on is yourself,you dont need to compromise to the system to survive.they detach us from nature,it makes us reliant on them.

[gloriarosyposy]

what is the song that is playing in the beginning, does anyone know?

[wutangforeverbws]

@gloriarosyposy ready or not - the fugees

[johnholmes667]

@gloriarosyposy

It's not the Fugees. It's called 'Bodicea' and it's by Enya.

[Gargarensisspire]

he looked after his parents til they died, inherited their money, went to vegas, gambled it away, became homeless

[Timsped]

@Gargarensisspire you know there's a good chance that his parents weren't rich. Lots of people die with mounds of debt.

[johnholmes667]

@Gargarensisspire

How would you know this? Maybe his parents had no money, maybe they had debts.. how are you to know? You don't know, so stop assuming.

[HawkDesignGroup]

@Gargarensisspire That doesn't mean they don't deserve compassion, the pain of his parents death obviously shattered him, as it would many.

[declan765]

fuck i wish i could help i really do i can relate to him yet im 15 my mum quit work to look after my nan and granddad and 3 years later there dead and where the shit is still hiting the fan but i wish i could give the bloke a address and a shave but im 15 over in Britain hope you get on your feet rick

[pepperspickled]

I'm don't understand why he doesn't just move, he has the time to do it, walk, find a bike, whatever, go find a shelter, get a shower, and find a job. There are places that are willing to help. FUCK, it's not a dead end, you just have to ask around at soup kitchens. I know someone who was once homeless, and who isn't anymore because they found out how to get a good shower and some shelter long enough to find a job.

[DarkKlown99]

'i couldn't get a job in the city i wanted to live in.. so i became homeless.....'... errr... MOVE.. you had a job where you came from.. you want to be a factory worker in vegas? lol..

[13dutchdennis13]

for the rest i wish him all the best,at least he is not a drugaddict

[13dutchdennis13]

what i dont understand,i am not from the u.s,but in holland is, if u worked all the time you will get unemployment money(a sort of benefits)its not much,but you can pay the rent,food etc..till u get another job...

[machintruc313]

@13dutchdennis13 The way it works in the US is that you have to have been working continuously ful time at least for the past 6 months prior to when you apply for unemployment. Then if you do (which is not his case since he took care of his parents), you're entitled to a 2 year protection (max), where you get less than 40% of your salary, with a cap of around four hundred fifty dollars per week. So if you don't qualify, and don't have money, you end up on the street., like Rick.

[13dutchdennis13]

@machintruc313 .that,s sad,I know that holland is good for their social and health care.if you work less then 5 years you will get about 60 % of your last wages+if it is needed(housing benefits).if you worked longer then 5 years,you will get 70% of your last wages.up 2 two years too and if you are taking care of somebody then there is an allowance too(i dont know how much),but you pay alot of taxes too if you work in holland.then in the us is a bit different(a bit harder)if you are homeless in

[13dutchdennis13]

holland it is more your own fault(ofcourse there are exeptions)..and if you are homeless then there is the ymca and benefits to pay your rent and food..most of it are druggies..thanx for your answer and god bless

[sonychak]

these videos are great for people to see. i hope children learn from watching videos like these.

[mrkazim1]

This is UNBELIEVABLE!

[Damienalixsouhabi]

This needs so much more views.

[mazlend]

Great job yet again, looking forward to the next one!

[samster317]

These videos are great. Thank you for making them!

[Chris13moore13]

Thumbs up if you would rather vote for this guy than any Republican out there!

[TheUnofficialProject]
