(cont) I understand, accept and support providing NEEDED assistance to the homeless.  I always have and always will.  That is no issue for me.  As a liberal I have always support communities helping citizens in need.  I'd love to see my tax dollars going to help needy persons rather than foreign military adventurism....Please don't tell me I don't want to spend my tax dollars to help others; that is simply not the case.  
" And then you complain because your privileged world is crumbling around you. You deserve it."  I won't get sidetracked by this little trolling comment.  I will say.....my wife and I are "comfortable" in our retirement.  I wouldn't use the term "privileged." I appreciate my life and the many people and factors which combined to help me live (and continue to live) it.  

I strive to, as part of my life, do my small part to help others have a better life as well.  I may do that differently than you, but please don't attempt to "shame" me for being who and what I am.
