I watched last week's episode because my 14 year old grandson wanted to. He had never heard of a Skid Row and I had to tell him about it and how I once lived @a mile from the Chicago Skid Row as a child.
Anyway I watched and commented and came away with exactly the same feeling. Better to pay more in taxes than to become a media star by handing out some of that money they have gotten. You know Jesus said that those who stand in the spotlight have already gotten their reward (a paraphrase).
The millionaire on that episode was so frightened by the poor people and I told my grandson that most of them were too exhausted from trying to survive that they could care less about some guy ambling on the street - laying down drunk or drugged would be different.
