You'd be wrong. It's possible to live without a home. Go to any major city. It's a sh*tty life but I know a good ten or so homeless people by face now, and have known them for 5 years that way. They put up with more sh*t than you probably ever will, and they survive.
It's not possible to live with untreated cancer, or a limb mangled from getting hit by a bus, or sh*t, even sometimes the flu.

We have housing projects and food stamps for a reason. It's not the government's responsibility to ensure good quality life, but it absolutely is it's responsibility to ensure the perpetuation of life; a government that stands idly by while people @#%^ing
perish due to easily treatable illnesses is just incorrigible. They aren't your taxes and it's not your money anyway. You earn money in this country by stealing it from other people, either by convincing them that they need something that they don't, and then selling it to them, or holding things that they do need hostage from them until you can take their money for it.
And I and others are somehow responsible for those homeless. The majority of them made decisions throughout their life that led to where they are. It isn't up to you me or anyone else to pay for them to get food, a house or healthcare. Personal responsibility has gone by the wayside in this country.
By perpetuation of life do you mean end abortion, then their is something we can agree on.
These are my taxes I am paying and it is my money I am earning cleaning up contanimated sites. Unless of course you are convinced that continued polluting of the environment is ok.
