Perhaps the homeless guy ran into unforeseen catastrophic problems. Maybe he started out as a hard working, family man. Then he lost his job, couldn't find another, and was without health insurance. Perhaps, then a child become terminally ill. Perhaps he had to sell everything he owned just to go to court to try to get a bone marrow transplant for his child. Perhaps he became further and further behind with his bills and lost his home, which put his family on the street. Perhaps the child died and the wife left him. Perhaps he has lost all faith and hope and his knees are blooded from praying and he's now sick himself. Perhaps the freezing cold of despair has set in.
Perhaps he needs to see the humanity in man again. Perhaps he's too depressed and weak to even go try for that job. Perhaps he needs a helping hand from his fellow man.
Now -- if that little girl will reach out and help this man and not just overeat, overindulge and over-stuff her own pockets with greed .... if she has truly learned from her parents that it's "not all about her"... if she has an awareness of the greater good and has a caring and open heart, she's -- Welcome to the Democratic Party!
