Use the keyword BEGGARS to see the previous two articles.

Looks like Pancoast is getting it from all sides now, including official attention. "The state Department of Health Services audited the couple’s income on Friday."

It isn't the IRS, but it is a start.

Jenah Dodge panhandled

How do you spell "work"? I'm sick of the do-gooders feeling sorry for losers.

Kinda punches a hole in the liberal argument that no one voluntarily becomes a beggar.

""I’m a third Cherokee, and my ancestors slept outside"

A third? This woman is a pathological liar.

"Johnson said he likes his vagabond life. "I’m just traveling," he said. "Nothing holds you down. It makes you feel free.""

Then let him starve until he gets a job. I have refused to give ANY money to beggars for several years now.

I wonder what kind of reaction this article would get if posted on DU. I'm not volunteering, though!

One of her grandparents must have been a Cherokee hermaphrodite.

"I’m a third Cherokee"

How does one go about becoming one third Cherokee, or anything for that matter?  I can do the math in my head to get full blood, half, a quarter, and an eighth, but not one third.

Since people who love DU don't have any morals, they would probably commend these people for lying and stealing.

Cliff, who said the most that anyone he knows makes is about $50 a day, said other homeless people also have complained to him that they have been making less.

Making less? His take is down because of the revelation that some beggars do this as a full time job and make more than some people actually WORKING full time. Poor baby.
