Why do some people believe that homeless people should receive no money or support from government?
If you Were the prime minister, president, king or queen of your country, how would you eradicate homelessness?

Jobs, jobs, jobs. And by this I mean good paying jobs that either keep up with inflation or else a corporate profits tax is both threatened as well as imposed.
If any "corporation" makes more profits than the percentage of the current inflation without increasing ALL their employees wages, not just management, then such a tax should be imposed.
Right now they pay NO taxes at all for the most part.
Notice I say CORPORATIONS. Leave the businesses alone. That way you encourage small business to increase. Small businesses just can not compete with just about any corporation.
It's why corporations have such a huge sway with PACs and "donations" to lobbyists.
Few small businesses can do so because they simply can not afford to. That's how much these corporations profits are.
The homeless are homeless because they can not afford a home because any job doesn't pay enough.
Key the tax on any profits above the current rate of inflation. The more they make in profits the higher the tax, with distribution going to low income housing.
Win, win on both the PACs & lobbyist problem as well as the housing the homeless housing problem. With additional benefits on inflation itself.
Right now there's no limit to what corporations will charge. They increase their prices way beyond what they really need. Then use a portion of that on PACs and lobbying for higher profits just for corporations.
In other words they are getting around the voting system without a need to vote.
