This brings into play my theory of how I think the government should punish poor people for being poor. Instead of punishing the wealthy with more taxes to help the poor, how about punishing the poor people for a change? That would solve a lot of problems.

The way I see things...poor people wouldn't be poor anymore if you took away their cellphones. If you're poor you shouldn't be allowed to have a cellphone. That would take a lot of people off of food stamps and welfare. There are tons of people out there who are on welfare and foodstamps but meanwhile they're racking up $300+ a month cellphone bills. Taking away their cellphones would also cut down on drug deals. Drug dealers won't pay for house lines because using them is too risky. If people can't get in touch with their drug dealers then they can't get any drugs.....thus eliminating more homeless people/crack addicts on the streets due to drug addiction sucking the life out of them.

I might seem insensitive, but you know I'm on to something.

No, I knew you were being serious, but too bad our society doesnt work like that. Without a cell phone to be contacted with, how is he to get a job?!? A bum is allowed to buy a cell phone if he wants to. That is totally his porogative. Does that make him a criminal? I dont think so. Secondly, there are actually some hard-working struggling good and honest families out there who are poor but just can not cut a break. Should they go in jail. To sound like an absolute CHEESE BALL, look at it as a huge fraternity: the fraternity of the human race. When one guy is down, you reach out your hand and you pick him up. You all work as one. You dont excile the guy from your chapter cause he is down on his luck, do you? ok, kind of a bad point, but I dont think that imprisoning the hobos is a good idea. I think they need a shower and a social security number so they can get a job.
