I am an avid Al Jazeera reader and came across this article about homelessness, particularly in Washington DC. I think we all recognize that as a national community we should strive for a nation where even the worst off are cared for in some way or another.
The myth that if you work hard you can become wealthy or even keep your head above water is nothing but a myth. You cannot control your health and if you loose your health there is nothing you can do to continue to work, and on top of that you have to some how pay for your medical care. I don't feel that while we are still the richest nation on earth it is moral to allow this to happen when, through the government or some other institution, we can pay to provide a safety net for every American.
