As far as being homeless, life can really throw you a curveball. Unless you've got a vast amount of cash stored up in the bank or have relatives that could take you in, you aren't really that far from the streets. And it's really hard to get out of it, but not impossible. Try going in for a job interview when you stink, your clothes are tattered and you don't have an address or a phone number for them. Or when your criminal record is so bad that hardly anyone would hire you, even if you walked in with a suit looking as debonaire as Pierce Brosnan. Still, it is not impossible and people get themselves off the streets all the time. As far as poor families, meaning the bottom-of-the-barrel underclass... well, Horatio Alger is a myth. Upward mobility for them will come very very slowly and over several generations... if it comes at all. Crappy schools and certain social factors perpetuate it. The real victims are the children born into it. They need good food and security just like your kids do.
