Homeless
Steven John Koeppe, © 1990 Acrylic on canvas, 36"x48"
Collection of Richard Binko, Esq.
This is a painting of Ocean Park's "Twin Towers". It's my comment on the sorry way we denegrate and disrespect homeless Americans. Over 80% of the wealth of America resides in the hands of less than 5% of our citizens. They constantly complain of having to pay their taxes to a country which helped make them wealthy. US taxes are among the lowest in the industrialized world, so what are they complaining about? There's no longer a safety net to catch those who fall far and hard, sometimes taking children along for the rocky ride. For such a rich country, we're stingy with our less fortunate citizens, many of whom are veterans of wars to make the world safe for corporate greed. They get little help and no respect.
