The Desitute

In Mid September, over 1301 millionaires from around the United States assembled at the Luxurious Palazzo Resort in Las Vegas for very influential investment convention.  It was quite a turnout, about (25 percent) were Business Owners or Entrepreneurs, nearly (35 percent) were Senior Corporate Executives, about (15 percent) were CPA/Attorneys and nearly (12 percent) were Physicians, Corporate Managers, Energy Engineers and Big Business Contractors.  They are all significantly wealthier than the average population and hold characteristics of a different set of attributes and lifestyles.  Many are workaholics and spend most of their time planning their investments and often consulting their tax advisors or financial advisers and yet there are some who do not have to work hard.  They are the wealthy retirees who spends a lot of their time socializing, playing golf with friends, vacation traveling or spending time with family.  Often these are usually the ones who have achieved significant economic success.  They enjoy the fruits of their labor and for certain have piles of money to burn.

One day a small corporation of millionaires were being spa luxuriated, while they all engaged in various conversations and before long a meeting originated in the sauna.  Instead of the usual discussions on lucrative stocks and money making investments, their conversation shifted into more sensitive dynamics.  Some discussed quite eloquently the worldly conditions of poor people who have flooded the streets in communities and neighborhoods. Out of the group, 21 millionaires quite enthused engaged in conversation about pauperism and agreed that homelessness impacts everyone.  They realized that its a public health problem.

One member of the group stated, “Homelessness is an economic problem as well!  People without housing are high consumers of public resources and generate expense, rather than income for the commnity.”

Then another added, “Homelessness is bad for business and can be deterrent for downtown visitors!  It can cost members of our community $30,000 for one homeless person in just one year (shelter stays, jail time, emergency room visits), you name it!”

Discussions continued, stating that homelessness is a human tragedy and with much melancholy to witness members of the community living in tents and under bridges being vulnerable to inclement weather or even violence something had to be done!  When we think about homelessness, we often think about drug or alcohol addictions, mental illness, domestic violence, jobless and disabled individuals are all accurate demographic characteristics.  They also lack access to healthcare and often have chronic illnesses and diseases from living in tough conditions!  Some have suffered physical abuse and as well as sexual abuse with no where to go, deprived and nonexistent to the world.

“Yea but how can we make a difference?  Some of them seem to have a social sense of arrogance!  And they are reluctant to charity!  I guess even people like them want to uphold their dignity and respect in spite of their living conditions!” He chuckled.
