A tax to support the homeless is essential to helping fix or alleviate the problem where I live. These people need support.

Every working class citizen is 1 paycheck away from homelessness. Without funding any resources, we are tacitly encouraging the problem.

No they are not, if you are then that is YOUR problem. Spend less and save more.

There's no reason to tax certain households based on income to re-distribute wealth. These people need a different kind of help, and can make their own money eventually.

Hello not, they are lazy, or people that chose to use drugs. Let them fix their own problems that they created for them self's. If do feel bad for the people with true mental issues,

Only in the form of a sales tax, so that EVERYONE can share in the pain. I am sick & tired of taxes on no one but homeowners. It is unending!! I I wish OR would implement a sales tax.

I'm all for helping homeless people; I buy them food. But the help should be voluntary, not forced; their problems are their problems and different people have different values.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I canvased 30 indigents recently to come rake needles for an afternoon, a nice meal with fair money paid.... NOT ONE took me up on my offer citing one failed excuse after another.
