<low-income folks are silently taxed?
I worked at a hotel and a woman asked to use the phone. She said she was robbed earlier and has no money. She called the local priest to get a ride. It was to the motel where she lived that night.
I drove her there and found out she worked at McDonald's. (Near the hotel).
When I talked to the priest he said she was homeless. That she had a network of people that help her.
That one instance made me realize how transportation especially a car was essential. Then - she uses same day places to cash her check. Keeps cash with her always since she has no bank. Has no phone number or address. How many silent taxes on her hurt entry back into my familiar society?
