The media and Congress ignore poor people, those on entitlements, so called. They think they can just throw them a few crumbs (Congress, that is) of money and they will hopefully go away. But someone needs to do something about their plight. They are stuck in dependence on the government. Someone needs to look into changing the system so as not to foster dependence. Someone should go preaching into all the "ghettos" about the woes of being dependent and the benefits of NOT being so.. I have known people throughout my life who were stuck in the low-income rut. It is NOT pretty. Low-income people are treated poorly by govt agencies, and I could just go on and on. Sometimes the victims don't seem to want to acknowledge that they really are victims but I can see it. Others can see it. Those who live in low-income (subsidized) housing are not given the same rights other Americans have. The laws supposedly set up in every state to protect tenants from greedy, selfish, unjust, lawless landlords do NOT apply to those in low income housing. The 4th Amendment is violated with impunity by those govt "workers" who run these hell-holes. The 2nd amendment is violated.
These people need help, but NOT the system as it is.. The system is the PROBLEM and does little to ACTUALLY HELP people.
many people prefer homelessness (over abuse)
