Well, you could look at what is the biggest contributor to homelessness and it’s probably losing your job. So maybe someone saved a few extra bucks because they weren’t paying taxes on their salary, then what? A short buffer to pay necessities, and then it’s the same end-result. Instead, if everyone’s taxes went to providing some services and benefits to those when they need it, since not everyone who is in a paycheque to paycheque situation will necessarily fall on those hard times.
