I don't think that it's the government's fault why they are homeless. Maybe a part of it (not being able to accommodate everyone). The more at fault is the person himself or herself because they won't land there if it weren't probably for their bad decisions. If you grew up being in poverty, it would be hard to get away with it, but if you do good to people, you would eventually get out of it.

Yes, the government can not be guilty of the fact that a person is lazy. For example, in the countryside you can build a house with firewood yourself and have a small garden around it, but you need to work for it. It's easier to say that the state does not want to provide a chic mansion with a swimming pool.

In first world countries the opposite happens Grin

when poor person starts to chop down wood for self-made house, state employees arrive to send him to prison. I am not even kidding. Unless, you buy permit to build a house of pre-agreed dimensions and buy PRE-CHOPPED certified wood, you willl pay fine and get the house torn down on your expense. Or go to jail and pay for it later. Europe these days...

So government refuses you the option to take care for yourself by both repression and taxation, so you might think - if I just stay in line and work hard, Ill get my chance. No you wont, since government is run like a family bussiness - even in western countries, its ranks are pretty much closed to lower classes. And the ever increasing taxes along with artifical inflation will crush any possibility that you will just save for the future.

Class war has not ended. It is waged from above by both right and LEFT elitists against working class people.

Well said! Government is poison and it's the main cause of poverty.
In the old days there were no homeless people, if you wanted to work you could build your own house and earn honest money by working in farming, construction and so on.
Now you need permits for everything and if you don't get them you get fined.
Just a few examples of stupid laws made to enslave people and make their lives miserable:
You need a permit to build a house on your own land.
You can't build it by yourself, you need a project made by an architect.
Nowadays you need energy performance certificate. This means that you must have an efficient house. If you decide to build a non-insulated wooden house heated with a coal stove, you're not allowed to! You have to be ecologically correct Angry

You can't hunt and fish without a permit, you can't own a gun and you can't bury a dead family member or animal beside your house, even if you have no neighbours so it wouldn't bother anyone.
