It's always disturbing to me how many #homeless people support #trump which you think would never happen, why would someone with nothing support a manic billionaire?
Unfortunately delusional thinking is very prevalent. Homeless tend to be three main groups-
1. #mentalhealth issues that nobody helped.
2. #disabled folks, older, with no family or support.
3. #addiction related.
It's really easy to manipulate the first two groups.
That is all Trump does.
I am Begging You For HELP,
This #disabled man living in #poverty turns 47 on March 22nd, and it would be really nice if the #community at large would help me #fundraise a substantial amount of money for my #birthday so that I can afford to take care of myself, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

@msbellows Plus there is nothing wrong with welfare anyway if you need it. It's a useful thing and takes people out of poverty, and poor people usually end up costing society WAY MORE than just giving them some money and support. So welfare makes the impoverished CHEAPER to deal with for the rich in an overall sense.

"Because if I come out and try attack the richest, I will get attacked by all of the richest, the most powerful people in this country, in the world would attack me. Then the newspaper would attack me, everyone would attack me and it will become extremely difficult. And unless the general public [...] understands we need to deal with inequality to protect our living standards, to protect our homes, to protect our children, it will become impossible."
There once was a nation so fine
With wealth that was in steep decline
After a decade so long
Their place in the throng
Of affluent lands started to resign

The government spends most of its welfare budget on keeping people trapped in poverty. There is a better way
This chart shows where the government is going wrong on poverty - Big Issue
Poverty exists, not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

In short, people are not settling down and becoming homeowners because they can't afford to.” #housing #shortage #poverty #inequality #economics #parenting
