you are taking it to exterems. the goal is not to become rich. few get to do that. it is to be in control of your own life, to earn enough to not cry because you have no idea where your children;s next eal is coming from, much less your own.

of course there is homlessness and pain and sosrrow and injustice. the world's not perfect. the "dream" si that one can, through hard work and dedication, rise above it.

there are many reasons people become homeless, and may homeless do not sdtay homeless forever. they work and eventually pullthemselves up. there ARE a TON of homeless that are mentally ill. thay cannot help what they do, or why they are there and they need help from us who are luckier.
there are also LOTS of lazy ass motherfuckers who choose to stay homeless because there is no responsibility i it, and they like it that way.

nothing can be painted with one brush.
