Paul Tevis Blog

I thought it'd be a good idea to write in this blog once in a while, since it is a blog. I was watching a Reality Television show today, can't remember the name. Anyway, the show was basically regular people living with the homeless for 24 hours. The real homeless people were complaining the government wasn't giving them enough help. It made me think, why should the Government have to take care of people that won't take care of themselves?

Most homeless peole are homeless because they made bad decisions in life. They either did drugs, constantly got drunk, or wasted their money on uneeded items. There are some people that have sad stories, and they ended up on the streets, maybe not even intentionally. The point I'm trying to make is the Government shouldn't have to take care of the homeless. These people had choices in life, they screwed up. The Tax Payers shouldn't have to pay for the people that screw up. I'm fine with charity for the homeless, but tax money isn't okay.

I understand that foster kids with bad foster Parents get the bad end of the stick. We shouldn't fall into their sad stories than start giving tax payers dollars to them, there's another solution. We need to reform the Adoption process. Spend tax dollars on that, not the homeless.
