Homelessness: Discuss!

[Zylumn]

So I am sitting in my comfortable chair, in my warm house, cherishing in my luxuries. What have I done for the homeless in Calgary?. What have you, any of you done in your area?.
I give to a local church and a select few charities that I feel are a partial solution to this and many other of our societies problems.
So I want to do more.

Lets do the Workopolis advertisement: reverse engineer where we are at in our lives to where we would be if we were homeless. By breaking this down to its lowest denominators we can engineer creative solutions.

(A possible solution) In a democratic society everyone will have different solutions.(I) would like to see on every tax form how you would like to spend 5% of your taxes (in your area) on the homeless.

How would you spend in your area 5% of your taxes on the homeless?

1) police
2) shelters
3) work projects
4) prisons
5) hospitals
6) spiritual guidance

I would choose 3 as I believe the lowest common denominator for a productive life is work.

This was just to take this conversation to a new level so we could come to solutions not accusations.
