When we watched “Taylor’s Campaign” I was shocked that some people look at homeless people with such distain that they can suggest letting them starve to death. For the most part I have considered people to have some sympathy and whether or not believe that homelessness is an issue that should be helped by outside sources or not believe that those who are homeless should have the right to get out of their predicament whether by receiving help or by working their way back up. I was surprised that there are people who are willing to so callously claim that the homeless should just die and leave them without the considered burden. It reminded me of a scene from a Christmas Carol where when asked if he would like to donate to help feed hungry and starving people Scrooge inquires about the condition of work houses and prisons, when the two asking for charity saying many would rather die than go to those places Scrooge comments “If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.” I honestly never expected a sentiment like that to be expressed to openly, especially while on camera for everyone to see. Everyone needs a helping hand once in a while and to suggest that because some people need a lot of help they should die I find appalling. I feel it comes from a lack of awareness as to how people can become homeless and how hard it is for those with jobs at the bottom of the pay grade to maintain enough income to support themselves.
