You say that they should take a lower wage? Why because our country is full of illegal immigrants and no one will do anything about? Because all of our blue collar jobs have been sent to other country's ? Have you ever tried to support yourself or your family on minimum wage? Do you think you could afford your rent and utilities,food,clothing for yourself and your children? And add on top of that medications that keep you well without medical insurance? If you grew up like I did with a meth addict for a mother, and a dad that thought his new step children where more important then his own flesh, you might think differently. This is not some poor me post, but a reality check to some who think everyone had it like they did. I can't afford to put myself through school, while taking care of my children,paying bills ect. I now have to take care of my mother and my father in law. Nether of witch have a job. So It's not like I can just have momy&dady send money wen I get into financial problems. I'm on the edge of homelessness, every month It's a dissension of food,bills or medication. I don't leech of the government because It's part of what's destroying our country. But It's gettin harder and harder if you don't have a collage education to keep from going under. There is simply not enough good jobs to go around.
Amen Brother.
Most people who are homeless for the long term are mentally ill or are addicts. Both serious problems that are not being addressed in a comprehensive way. Anyone could become homeless given the right set of circumstances. Don't kid yourself. Just remember to count your blessings.
