A lot of people believe in blaming the victim of those that are in poverty.That they are too lazy to work or that they have no drive to succeed. I don't think that that is right because a lot of people do not have the honest means to live or even "get by" in this type of economy. Especially with jobs with frozen minimum wages and an inflation in the price of the dollar, it is just not even reasonable.

U See theres a big misconception about the homeless and the poor such as ( these people wanna be this way is why their in this situation). If u actually belive that any body in their right mind wants to be poor or homeless u are WRONG. If u belive that all homeless are the same and dont want to work u are WRONG. EVER HEAR THAT SAYING? DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER WELL PEOPLE ARE LIKE BOOKS DONT JUDGE THEM BY THEIR COVER, STOP STEREOTYPING. U COULD BE HOMELESS ONE DAY.

Them sorry ass politicians in congress give themselves raises and make about 174,000 a year! plus bonuses! and they cant even help the poor, cant raise the minimum wage to 10.00 or 12.00 an hour, keep manufacturing warehouse jobs in this country. What a SHAME!

the majority of homeless are blacks, black males to be exact.

Hey you guys, who would win if we went to war with China? Think for a second before answering. China has 2 billion or more people with 500 million or more troops (both males and females) and the USA has only 300 million or less people with only 10 million troops (both males and females) but (here's the key) American troops are lazy, not well educated, and most families are below the poverty line. So, who would win if we went to war with China? (China and Russia are neighbors also).

Are dumb and retarted? So having a college degree or EVEN a high school diploma guarantees a job? Even if your lucky enough to have a job that dosen't mean you still wont be in poverty..People like you are ignorant.
