When a citizen working two jobs can't afford to pay rent or feed his family its not his fault, its the government's. People aren't homeless because they're lazy or stupid or crooked, its because economic conditions have become toxic. And that happens when those who are responsible for those conditions are doing something wrong. Workers are not responsible for determining economic conditions, businessmen are. And only governments have the power to persuade business.
Of course, there will always be people who are sick or handicapped (or just plain stupid or lazy or crooked), but Conservatives cannot explain why these people are suddenly increasing in number. I simply cannot accept that the amount of stupid, lazy and crooked folks isn't CAUSED by economic policy and conditions over which the victims have absolutely no control. They're caused by rich people who don't want to pay taxes.
