Dear Carl Icahn:

In this open letter I want to say this world might be better off if billionaires followed your latest lead. You do not know me yet. Like you I worry about homeless women and children. I worry about all homeless. Been Homeless as a kid and as an adult.

Unlike you I rank 4,5,112,253 or so, but it is from the bottom of the US income pack. Not 50 from the top of income. I am under the federal guidelines for poverty, but I am better of then many other people, who survive on less than I have. When kids are involved I am more liable to find motel costs, a few times from my own very limited pocket.

I serve Maine, and the USA in my crisis hotline. If anyone were kind enough to give me 4.5 million dollars I would spend or invest up to 1.5 million on my spouse and myself, and spend 3 million on ending poverty.

It’s Ideas Which Keeps 70 to 90 % of Hard working Americans poor. There can be millionaires and billionaires, but only after all others are fed and has a bed

It’s up to billionaires to undue the harm of budget cuts.
Doing so, as you have done, will improve your quality of humanity. Helping those with less than us, gives those of any income, a boost in are humanity realm.
