An unwelcoming and discriminitory face

Recently Hollywood announced that the 29 year old actress, Reese Witherspoon would be earning 29Million dollars for her upcoming movie. With Hollywood dominating a bulk of the multibillion U.S economy, should we begin to question why there are 600,000 recorded homeless people in the United States? As crime rates, homicides, and newly formed antihomeless laws are continously growing the homeless population is becoming further removed from the rest of the nation. Is our nations sense of unity falling apart or have we simply excepted our countries lack of compassoin and care for its own citizens as common ground? Who deserves here, who belongs, and is our country turning on itself to keep the needy away? The facade the United States wears will only last so long before its unwelcoming and discriminitory face is revealed.
