This is a serious post as to ask why there are poor people in Lewes, this is an upper class town and to why there is so many poor people is beyond especially that homeless man outside of boots, he keeps asking money from me every time I go past him. WHY DOESNT HE JUST GET A HOUSE AND THEN A JOB

We could distribute the wealth we create in a different way from how we do now. The people who work hardest are often the worst paid and the people who are paid most often contribute the least to society. A society like ours creates the kinds of casualties we see outside Boots.

@Conrad Wormald:
An upper class town? At the last Census only about 10% were in the managerial category, the same as in the "elementary occupations" category (cleaners, labourers etc). About a quarter were in professional jobs, and abour 18% in technical jobs, 10% in skilled trades, 8% in service jobs such as carers, 7% in retail, 5% machine and plant operators.
If poverty is a choice it is a choice made by the rich and imposed on the poor.

The poor are in their situation because of their own choice, as any educated person knows, and as their daily choices betray (e.g. begging for drugs instead of working). Why should I try to alter the fortune they choose for themselves when the end result will be of absolutely no benefit to my family, my business, or me?

The assumption that poor people are on drugs or don't have a job is rather narrow minded isn't it? Lewes is my home town and I love it, however it's very expensive to live here. And do we want a town full of only wealthy people stroking each others ego's? Social diversity has always played a big part of what makes Lewes such an interesting place to live.. it's rude, insulting and ignorant to say poverty is a choice. You Sir/Madam/gendet fluid? are an arse.
