    Has America really fallen this low? Tent city Florida

    "Tent cities like the one here in Florida are becoming an increasing option for people who are homeless."



    "A man walks at the tent city homeless community, knows as Pinellas Hope in Pinellas Park, Florida, USA.



    Is the USA becoming the land of the have nots? How is it possible that in a nation so "wealthy" that you have once employed people living in planned ghetto style tents? Has any other nation witnessed their middle class disappear overnight like the USA has? Looking at these pictures, you'd never think that they could possibly come from America, but the cold hard facts are that they do. Are former hard working, middle class Americans in this great nation really living under these conditions?

    Does America really prefer having cheaper goods at Walmart than having a solid manufacturing base within their economy that once employed millions and millions of middle class Americans? Apparently, the political and business elite seem to think so. America is starting to resemble a third world nation in the sense that it's being governed by a tiny minority of elites. This "democratic" principles and "human rights" America prides itself on are merely a facade utilized to take away attention from what is really happening in this crumbing nation.

    Rest In Peace America. You had a good run while it lasted. The torch has been taken away from you. All that remains is the sound of the final nails being hammered into the coffin. God Bless America.

    Instead of giving them tents, America needs to let Social Darwinism work its natural course.

    Hmm, lets see, a tent in Florida or a nice 3 bedroom home in Detroit?

    Hell that's a no brainer, give me my Coleman and sleeping bag. Detroit would have trouble beating out a dumpster in northern Alaska

    BTW my new address is 186 Coleman Street Tent City, FL for any of you who want to come over for a little housewarming. I live in the good area of Tent City, low crime and lots of new tents being put up

    Unless there's a sporting event to bet on in Tent City, it needs to be moved to the Politics and Economics forum. Now, if there is a sporting event in Tent City will it be televised and can we see some lines?
