Income inequality has increased exponentially in this country since 1980. People spiraling out of control from a safe, middle-class lifestyle results in homelessness, living among those that either chose this lifestyle, or others that have a mental illness and live on the streets. Their are many reasons for this, but the facts are what they are, a hidden society that manifests itself when well to do retirees, and others, venture out of their moneyed cocoon to experience rural traveling in their expensive RVs.
The juxtaposition is that these RVers 'expect' the 'others' to be like them. Hardly, the moneyed population has zero idea of what the poor has to go through on a daily basis. I'm not condoning littering, but one has to 'walk in their moccasins' before they start throwing stones in glass houses. Or their vacation home in California for instance.
If these poor folks are so mentally ill and destitute, then the problem must be redistribution of wealth. The ones that have mental problems can't pay attention lone enough to find the mountains. If you feel guilty then there's a place on your tax returns to give additional money to the Feds and State if you so desire, myself I've earned what I have through hard work and making the right choices in life. Makes me sad to see how easy people give up to get something for nothing. Please close this as it's been beat like a dead horse.
