So why should what he did be legal in any instance?

Your “punishment” is with a communistic outlook. All it focuses on is non-reporting of the “income” to the government (and to blazes with the people he defrauded), and apparently not having a problem with his being on welfare since merely not reporting “income” while being on welfare was included. Capitalism involves honesty and will to work versus dishonesty and sloth; aught else smacks of socialism.

The guy's a bum, a jerk, and liar. ..immoral and unethical.

You want to put him in jail for that?

Is panhandling against the law where you live?

There are limits and restrictions here in Texas, but not illegal per se.

How you equate his actions & my comments to communism and socialism escape me?

Bums do what bums do, don't be a sucker! Geezzz

Can we at least agree to respect this guy for his honesty?
