Homeless veterans who WANT to do better but are so screwed up from injuries to their bodies and minds, they just can't quite reach "normal" without help, and being helpless means they can't even understand how to seek help.

Families who have fallen on hard times because the government laid them off, or the shop closed down, or the fire burned down their home...

You're okay with forcing them to pay MORE for everything, just so you don't have to pay tax on your dividend check?
True, groceries don’t come from China, but things like backpacks, vacuum cleaners, clothing/textiles, fans, calculators and sink faucets do. In the end all the prices are forced upward to the new American made price.
