I know a few homeless people that are working poor [View all]

so should we deal in

homelessness?

(i've already invited people with no job) so i guess we are there...it's so easy to happen to us all?

people that make much more than minimum wage but also spend (overspending) more (75000 a year but spend 70000 on shopping (ridiculous example but still))?

personally i'd like all but the third group in here, but that's me and this is a ...republican state with democratic traditions (cia factbook)

so i'd like some help in making up the rules of the group(people voice)

i personally believe working poor have a lot in common with homeless or unemployed people (most)..most want to have a home and a job..(ok some don't), still...most do which puts them in 'less work / pay than i need' which is us so easily....loose that second job....

questions, opinions, comments? <<--- i do that a lot
