It seems like there have been a few stories recently about panhandlers and the amount of money they are making. I find it hard to believe a large percentage of homeless people just decided “Eff it, I want to live off others and just beg for money”. Most have mental problems and many just have made a couple bad choices, most of us do not have enough money set up in case we get laid off for 6 months. I wish these stories were less frequent, it is hardly a problem we are dealing with as a country.
It goes along the same vein of food stamp recipients chowing down on lobster & T-bones on a nightly basis.
It makes a nice visual to stir up the hatred of the poor and deflect from the real problem of wealth inequality.

Exactly and we are smarter than that as liberals. At least I would like to think so.

Too bad he doesn’t use his thinking to start a business of some kind!
