What is this crap?? I see the same people begging day after day, year after year. If they'd save 10% of their "earnings" they could buy a suit and get a job in no time.

Yea..there's a guy near where I live, stands right in the middle of an intersection with a pan asking for handouts everytime there's a red light and he's been at it for years. He's got to have about 50 people staring at him at any one time, I can't think of anything more degrading and yet he chooses this.

If I was a bum I'd collect cans or something until I could afford a decent outfit. Might be less profitable than begging rich people but at least it's respectable.

They are entrepreneurs! That is their job and every day is casual Friday for them ;-)

Many government employees look like unmade beds most of the time, hardly do any work and get handed a paycheck.........so what's the difference?
