Gettysburg Address/ Homeless Edition

Eleven Score and seventeen years ago, our forefathers made a pledge that America be a refuge. A refuge for the scared or broken, for the ones who just need an escape. So why is it that some cant even have a meal.. A warm bed.. A place to come home to.. an education..  The American Dream!? There are millions of different types of people in this world, and they all have different approaches and views on life. For the ones who don't care, and choose to live the lifestyle that they do, they should be out on their own.  Why is it that the innocent people of America whom are guilty of nothing but having a bad fortune or being dealt a bad hand are the ones who suffer. They are the ones who would be willing to do anything for the "Dream" if only they could catch their break in life. These are the people we should be worried about helping. These are the people we should be pouring our resources into helping, not the ones who choose their fate and expect this country to carry them, handing out a free ride. This time, effort, and money being handed to the ungreatful needs to be channeled down a different path.. To the unfortunate and homeless, but only to the ones who are deserving of the help. And this is what we shall set out to do.

Yes, I thoroughly agree. The following quote is a prime example why.

"Maybe Kmart should have shown they are thankful for their loyal employees and let them be with their families on Thanksgiving," Jenn Tayrien wrote. "I realize you are a corporation and your goal is to make money...but sometimes you need to show and prove that people are important, too."

I think that coorperate greed is a thing that plagues our society, especially today. Money has become the sole most important thing, whith people, especially the wealthy, caring about nothing more. They would rather sacrifice compassion and morals for a few extra bucks. It's pretty pathetic.
