Does America have beggars and homeless people?

Of course. You must be watching lifestules of the rich and famous. Not everything here in the U.S. on tv is all about rich glamor.

Yes, they do, but, they're not going to show you that in the shiny magazine pictures. There are beggars and homeless people here in Canada also. It's a real sin to me that there are homeless people in countries as rich in everything as Canada and the US. So, yes, there is poverty and desperation everywhere.

You know what? its because USA movies and our televisions shows, are from the USA. MOre exposure on their country because of Hollywoood movies. I believe there are beggars and homeless people as well just like in our country, India and Philippines. I think we even are better off than people who are living in the States because at least we can eat delicious food and have a comfortable house because it's more cheaper here compared to their own country. Many people there are also hungry. Everywhere there will always be rich and poor.

There are homeless people all over the US and Canada too. I live in one of the richest countries in the world - but in one of the poorer neighbourhoods. There are street people all over the place.

America most certainly have beggars and homeless people. I have personally been homeless four times inmy life. I have had to ask for help from other people to gat by on many occasions. I do not have that in my life now, because one thing that happenned to me was that I found a government program that allowed me to go to college. I have not been homeless or unemployed for over tweny years as a result.

I live in one of the most overall affluent counties in the states, and we have beggars, homeless people and everything else. We may not have as many as some areas in the states, but I doubt there are many places completely free of them. But this is something you see as you drive or walk around and there are not usually too many in a small area, so they are easier to ignore if you wanted to. Media that is broadcast even in the states does not emphasize this much at all, it is very local. My husband and I have a small boat in a marina, and there is one regular homeless person there who can be seen at all times of day and night. I haven't seem him beg, but I am not there every day.

My dear just like every other trade in the world which is everywhere so also is the trade of begging, so yes beggars and the homeless are in the states Thanks

Yes, we definately do. I don't know if it's a large problem as in other countries because I haven't been anywhere. There are various reasons for this, but it is a problem.

I am afraid to amitt that yes indeed America has beggars and lots homelessness. The ones that bother me the most to see is the children and babies that are homeless. You would think more steps would be taken to take care of the children and get them off the street. America has always had a problem with letting anyone know there are beggars and homless people. Being one of the riches nations that help other countries out. But refuse to open their own eyes and help their own people out. What a shame!!

there is nothing exceptional in America. but it may be true that in comparison to India or other asian or European country, the number of beggars or homeless person would be definately less because they have history of 100 years and to some extent, they have developed more.

Yes, I think that there are a lot of homeless people in America. I live in a very small town and we have at least 4 of them that I have seen on a daily basis on the streets since I was a small child. When I went to Miami last year, there were homeless people in tents all up and down the streets.

Every city in the world has homeless people and beggars, but it's not something they're proud of so they get as little exposure as possible in countries like America, because governments don't like anyone to know the facts.

It's true, the media would like us all to believe that America is so rich and powerful that they possibly couldn't have beggars, but there's a whole hidden side to America that's incredibly poor. That side is quickly growing, but the media will be damned to start showing that on TV. The same goes for any Western country, I find.

god yes we do.a lot of people in the town i live in are one check away from homeless. they take in multiple roommates just to pay the rent and that's all it covers-not water,power or anything. the taxes versus the wage don't line up. the media isn't showing the whole truth. just what they want you to see.

There are lot in Los Angeles.
