[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if said person who is homeless or addicted to drugs did contribute to taxes for a large part of their life? What if they are a veteran who contributed a lot more than your few dollars?[/quote] If they are a veteran they often qualify for quite a few benefits related to their service, and any "homeless agency" that works with them that is worth their salt will seek that on their behalf. Leaving them in the street or untreated for addiction or mental illness doesn't show respect for their service.[/quote] Ideally, yes. But the VA can be a complicated bureaucracy. Who is suggesting leaving them in the street?[/quote] It’s not just the VA. Arlington County has a no homeless veteran policy. Lots of avenues of support for veterans in the area. [/quote]
