That's not physics.

You're speaking of a form of Supply and Demand that is zero-sum based.

But a few miles away there is a large population of homless families growing and im talking about entire families. I don't have very much money, infact I don't even own a computer or a phone. But I still go out and give these people food because their children should not be growing up in a tent like its fu**ing normal.

Then lobby for higher taxes, better welfare, better welfare verification. Lobby for education and outreach to disaffected communities.

Oh wait, this is America, right?

Then expect to be called a Communist, etc for trying to apply the Sweden/Finland/Norway safety nets.

By the way, they are still people.

Not according to the Just World View, which I would argue that is a prevailing world view of conservatives in America and justified through Mather's work "The American Puritan" and Alexis De Tocqueville's "Democracy in America".

REF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis

As long as people believe in this shit, they will always fall into the fallacy that the poor, etc are to blame for being poor.

The poor may be wretched and that may be solely their own, but their economic plight, like in the Scandinavian countries, can be assuaged to basic human rights levels. But only when the peers of the poor choose to act for someone other than themselves.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
