Reply #42: I doubt if anyone really wants to be poor. Money doesn't mean as much [View All]

to some, but it does make life easier and gives you options.

Many homeless people are mentally ill including many Vietnam vets. Many are just down on their luck and sometimes if you don't have clean clothes,decent food,or a place to bathe you cant even apply for work. It is a vicious cycle.

In this country,since Bush has been in office, over 4 million more people have fallen into poverty and I doubt that any of them want to be there.

Does your family have a clue what it is like not being able to take your child to the doctor because there is not money..eating bologna sandwiches for the third straight day, losing sleep wondering how the hell you are going to pay the heat bill..dreading asking tour family for a loan "until payday" that you all know isn't going to get paid back..

This was my family 40 years ago after dad left. My mom did her best and the poor dear worried enough for 10 moms. I can tell you for a fact, she didn't like being poor, it was so hard and I know she always felt guilty about not being able to give us more.

They are feeding you a line of bullshit,,out of the millions in this country who are poor, I bet you couldn't find a handful who like it.
