in other countries where poverty is more common , there are not many job oppurtunitys. people in other countrys say "there is money on the streets in America, all you have to do is sweep it up."

Where do you start ? maybe they have a disability or there brain damaged . Maybe they used too get high on drugs and now nothing can help them or booze . Maybe there's no job offers for them or none available .Some have jobs but dont make enough and cant work 2 or 3 jobs to make it . There are many many more reasons .. Every monday I volunter at a food pantry and I see all kinds . Some i know are ripping us off but a lot of them really need the help. There is the working poor and we will always have them no matter what .

Some people do not have the confidence, self belief, or general energy to just go and make it happen. In life some people are born to lead and some are born to follow. The followers sit and wait for someone to offer them a job. The leaders go out and start a business.
And some people are just lazy and do not want to work. If you make it too easy for people by giving them what they need in order to live without having to work for it then hey, why be surprised if they decide life is better if they sit back, take a holiday and get given money for free.

Many people living in poverty in the USA have jobs but the wages paid are too low to provide enough to live on. You would think that the richest country in the world could afford to pay its workers a fair wage but it won't. If there were a fair minimum wage and safety nets to provide medical care to the poor, fewer areas of the USA would have third-world similarities.

A lot of time homeless people suffer from mental illness, and have been abandoned by family members. That's why it bothers me when some people are so cold towards the homeless; you truly never know what their story may be.

- There are like single mothers who have children who are too young to take care of.
- Illegal immigrants who are unable to get jobs because they dont have ss #

its easier for them to live on the state and get everything handed to them...if they get a job they loose their free health care and all the other perks so we just keep paying to keep them on welfare and all the programs handed to them

They like to suck the state for all it's worth and lie, cheat, and manipulate the system. They get everything handed to them!
And why do they also have cell phones??????????
