I see many here would rather see children sleeping in a ditch, in freezing snow, dying from the exposure to extreme cold, than have the government offer them needed housing.

Don't feed the troll folks. DON'T DO IT!

So, no public housing in Florida then? How about Texas? Arizona?

Straw man fail, junior.

ETA : Most children would easily pass a criminal background check. So double straw man fail.

if they accept tax payer funded public assistance / housing / food stamps / WIC / welfare they need to be checked / documented and ID'd. All of em including their spawn. Drug testing needs to be part of it too.

Wall Street crash, public housing.... not seeing the connection there.

Those bastards in Wall Street were using public housing!?! :p

The idea that people have a right to a home is what I was talking about. There are some bastards using public housing and cheating the taxpayer.

public housing should not be a lifestyle. It should be available for families to get back on their feet in hard times. public housing is not a right. you break the rules... the government should be allowed to kick your ass to the curb. then you wouldn't need all this biometric security.

Yes housing isn't a right, children sleeping in ditches is fine with you.

I'll assume you're alright with being evicted so your home can be used to house some poor children, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Public Housing will be right over to relocate you. Surely you're wealthy enough to arrange alternative housing.

What is "proper housing" as defined by the Constitution? Having a little trouble finding it on my own and I know you've probably got that info at your fingertips.

Right beside the section on a living wage and below that it is legal to take from those that are working harder than you

Funny that they tryto destroy the housing that is paid for by working stiffs.

And that housing does not cost them anything.
Yet the working stiff must pay for smaller living space plus his utilities.

When was the last time Schulz was reported as having died from exposure?

What the government should be doing is helping people get a job.

Having a job that pays enough for a person to aquire private housing gets one independant. Having someone depend on you for housing, food and health. Gets you VOTES!

Housing is a fundamental right. Everyone has a right to proper hosing.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, Housing and the pursuit of Happiness."

Let me know which word is not in the United States Declaration of Independence?

Housing, Food, Water, Education, Healthcare are all fundamental for pursuit of happiness. They are all fundamental rights.

They should probably be branded also since they're the cattle of the Democratic party.
Blacks or Hispanics? I ask because when immigration reform goes through the libs are going to drop the blacks in a heartbeat. Far bigger numbers in the Hispanic camp.

Again allowing the "pursuit of" something, i.e. government non-interference in the matter, does not mean you are provided a guarantee to anything.

Try again.

They are also fundamental to liberty.

No they are not. Fundamental liberty is NOT based on enforcing others to pay for your happiness.

In fact doing so is the antithesis of liberty.

Hence the usage of the word "Pursuit of" rather than "guarantee of" because you are only given the ability to "Pursue" those things mentioned not a guaranteed right.

In the end fundamental rights go beyond human laws. They are fundamental and exist independent of what laws man tries to make.

Your "right" to force me to pay for your housing, food, medical expensive etc is not a fundamental right. It does not exist in this country or even within the framework of the conversation. Thus you have no clue as to what you are talking about at all and most people here have called you out on it pretty well.

That's funny, I can't find that in the constitution or the declaration.

Housing, Food, Water, Education, Healthcare are all fundamental for pursuit of happiness. They are all fundamental rights.

As mentioned, it is the pursuit of happiness, not the guaranteeing of it.
