re: how does anyone go hungry in this country

If you are truly going hungry or begging for money on the street, then you are fricking lazy. I work with a guy from another country and he said he feels no sympathy for people begging for money, ever. He said it is because if there is any country where you can at least make minimum wage, it is this one, and where he is from, you die if you don't choose to do such work.

A sandwich or a burger costs 99 cents for fricks sake. If you are begging for money you are not above working fast food or some other minimum wage job.
