I just have to interject here There is something that nobody on this thread seem to acknowledge and that is that poverty is a big businessand that a lot of the self profess dogooders are making a lot of money off the poor. It is in ther interest that the amount of poor people increase and that they get there welfare checks madicade housing subsidies and what ever so that they can get a peace of the pie. I anyone really didany real research they would come up with this themselves. And these poverty pims are not the rich but they do become rich and the are for the most part liberals not republicans. You only have to be homeless for a couple of mounths and live in a shelter as I have I live in the State of New Jersey which is Democrate Controlled property taxesare the highest in the nation and the State goverment is the biggest employer or at least on of the biggest. Housing is very expensive hare and that is not the fault of the rich,it has a lot to do with taxes
