I'm sick of door to door salesmen and have often told them "I have no money"....which is true as I don't have money to spend on stupid things sold door to door. How can you know if someone is poor simply by knocking on their door and trying to sell them something?
The truth is there are a lot of poor out there that don't have doors....or windows, or walls, or roofs.
And that still does not put their responsibility onto the shoulders of others
Of course it does. The government is suppose to provide for the welfare of the people. Shipping our jobs overseas and bringing in immigrants to compete with unskilled labor is not in the interests of the welfare of our people.
Spoke to one homeless man yesterday. He ran a business here for more than 30 years. He ended up short selling his house just to get out from under it. Seems that his work went overseas. He's left with nothing but his tools. Of course I'm sure you believe that it's HIS fault that his business went under because our jobs were sent overseas. Now he's stuck wondering if he should sell his tools, or keep them in the hopes that the economy will get better and he will be able to find a job down the road.
Fundamental difference. The government is not supposed to provide for the welfare of the people.
It's up to you to provide for yourself.
The government should make it as easy as possible for jobs to propsper -- they don't.
That said there are those that truely need government assistance, and they should get it. Then there is a gigantic chunk that take advantage of the system and live off other people's hard work.
I bet that there is more to this homeless story. In fact, I also would bet that if I offered him a job doing door to door selling like I have done he would say no. Just guessing...
