You could go out and give a million dollars to a charity tomorrow to help the homeless. You could argue that it is just wasted. They are not putting anything back into the community.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being homeless is like living in a post-apocalyptic world. You're on the outskirts of society.
You can spend the money on new housing for poor people and the homeless, or you can spend it on a football stadium or a golf course.
But charity is a very complicated thing. It's important to find an area where you can really help and you can feel the results. Charity is not like feeding pigeons in the square. It is a process that requires professional management.
The holidays are a rough time for the homeless, but it's a year-round problem we have to solve.
To anyone who is homeless, I say, find a home.
I'm not so sure that people consider homelessness to be as important as, say, the Vietnam War. One should never even try to equate them because, of course, they're tragedies on both sides of the coin.
The public thinks that homelessness is about not having any accommodation to go to.
If you don't improve the lives of the poor, it's not charity.
There is a place and a time for philanthropy, and there is only so much money you can give away.
When we foster an economy without hope, we guarantee that a segment of our population will be destined to know homelessness on a permanent basis, and not for the one night I voluntarily spent at a shelter.
