Should people be punished for trying to put food on the table? Well, I don't think so. I want to address a topic that has the rich in an up roar, the squeegee kids. It's true that the squeegee kids don't pay taxes, but it's not like they get health benefits from cleaning windows. Unfortunately these kids are being punished for making an income; nevertheless, they don't pay taxes.

These kids are homeless, at the bottom, but they still have the strength to push themselves for something better. Society is pushing these kids down every time they try to move up in life. Is the business class and the politicians so angry with these kids, some with out a high school education, found a way to not p...
