The Rich and the Poor

As we know it, there is a giant gap between the rich and the poor. It's still increasing today. I read this article and I totally agree with Bob Shillman. If you are homeless, how do you have a cell phone? Do you know how much a phone bill is nowadays? It's about $70-100. Who pays for that?

I think that there's a gap between the rich and the poor because of the economy. Today, a lot of people are getting cut from their jobs, causing them to go broke. The new life of living in a car with a little bit of money begins. I also believe that it's the government's job to take care of this situation. Since the government takes away a percentage of our paychecks for taxes, we should be using that money for the homeless. Either help build a homeless shelter or just give money. I totally think this can be fixed if the government chooses to use our money WISELY. A lot of people beg others to give them money, or just something to eat. A lot of them say no because they think that the person is going to waste it or give it away. Even if you give them a penny, they'll appreciate it. This is why I think that the rich and the poor should be treated the same.
