They don't contribute to campaigns. 168 00:15:37,503 --> 00:15:39,437 They offer little to a city's tax base, 169 00:15:39,471 --> 00:15:42,372 and to the extent that our government is made aware of their existence, 170 00:15:42,408 --> 00:15:45,707 it responds by trying to mitigate the damage done by their presence. 171 00:15:45,744 --> 00:15:49,043 We open a food bank here, a shelter there. 172 00:15:49,081 --> 00:15:51,106 We try to move them away from downtown, 173 00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:55,348 away from our communal areas, away from our schools, away from our homes. 174 00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:59,118 If you were to judge our society by the manner in which we treat those lost on our streets, 175 00:15:59,158 --> 00:16:01,558 we would have cause to be shamed. 176 00:16:01,593 --> 00:16:04,357 Well, I am, God forgive me, a politician. 177 00:16:05,230 --> 00:16:10,133 But I ran for public office because I believe that there is a different way of governing. 178 00:16:10,169 --> 00:16:14,162 And I believe that in the end we will be judged not by the efforts we make on behalf 179 00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:16,936 of those who vote for us, who contribute to our campaigns, 180 00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:19,103 or those who provide for our tax base. 181 00:16:19,144 --> 00:16:23,012 I believe that we will be judged by what we provide to the weakest and most vulnerable. 182 00:16:23,048 --> 00:16:25,915 That is the test.
