Their quality of live is extremely low, meaning that their only choice they can make is to sleep either on cardboard, benches, Styrofoam, among other uncomfortable objects. These people confront many problems in their daily lives. Both their immediate and their long-term needs represent a constant struggle which they have to fight off every day. Look at you you complain about having a physics test, you complain about not getting the latest phone. You complain about your breakfast, your lunch, your dinner. Panhandlers can sit up for almost the whole day to get a few coins just to survive. But how does someone end in this situation? In many countries, governments are one of the key factors for homelessness. These are not consistent and coherent in the way the impose levies to the population, especially the way the estates usually tax low-income families. The methods they sometimes use do not assure equity, as they do not make use of systems which assure fairness for everyone. Some nations have not adopted progressive taxes. These is the most unbiased way of taxing, as it is based on a very straightforward and simple principle. The more you win, the more you will have to pay. The less you can afford, the less your duties will be. Countries without this system sometimes are not very benefited of this. Consider the following case Normally, the number of rich people is very few compared to the number of people with not a high income. This means that the state would receive less money than normally he would receive in a regressive tax-based economy (people with lower salary pays more taxes than wealthy people). This is the case in the sales-tax in the United States of America. Underprivileged people are forced to pay a higher percentage of their wage for things like clothing, transport, food, and more daily essentials. This will make poor people eventually bankrupt, therefore reaching homelessness. (http://www.wisegeek.com/which-countries-use-progressive-taxes.htm)
Another issue which houseless people confront is healthcare. 70% of them
suffer from double Diagnosis, 12.1% of psychotropic substances-challenges and 12.1% from Mental illnesses. Now, it is clear that these group is likely to come down with a serious affection. This is due to the fact that they are exposed to an atrocious weather, to animals that carry maladies, to the lack of medical assistance, to a shortage of sanitation But one thing is evident. HEALTHCARE IS A CIVIL RIGHT. Private organizations have already taken the initiative to aid homeless. Also countries such as Finland have taken measures to teach people without a home about sanitation and they have given the opportunity to them to go to certain places (such as specialized vans) where they can take showers, shave themselves This is a great example of how to
