Welfare, Food Stamps, Disability pay and whatever else plus panhandling may make for a pretty good income?

How much can a guy make doing those?


Not sure about the first three, but I know a number of journalists have busted panhandlers over the years for living very nice lives based on the untaxed money they get from others.

One of the first of such stories I saw was on 20/20 in the 90s and I remember as a kid being pissed off about it. Dude lived in a nice home with a family and they had no idea he panhandled all day to support them.

You damned right dunce...modern day conservatives give to places and institutions where these bums can go to learn how to provide for themselves while being cared for in the meantime. This class of bum you keep doing the bidding for is too fricking lazy to improve themselves to where they can earn an honest living. The conservative route is the compassionate route...your prog/lib hand out shite method is proven to fail 100% of the time.

Ebbandflow wants everyone to be helped with everyone else’s money but his own. Him and his kind are the epitome of a hypocrite.

The leftists in this thread are as scummy as any human refuse on the street.

I love people who downvote but don't bother presenting a real counterargument. Classic pr0g filth.

I don’t give anything to the panhandlers.

In my opinion, there are more than enough local, state, federal, and church resources available that no person should be hungry or homeless for an extended period of time.

The panhandlers who are homeless and don’t take advantage of these resources because they don’t won’t to follow the rules, such as drug testing, curfews, etc. In other words, druggies.

The rest are scammers or just insane.

This definitely has more to do with liberal policies than conservative ones. The fact that you even try to to claim this is so ludicrous but so fitting for you. You're a disingenuous slimeball.

I would even go as far as to say that most conservatives actually want to shut places down. I live in Texas and many of the mental health care facilities state-wide are being closed down so the state can sell off the land to Developers. Republican politicians helping their Republican land developer friends.

This is so moronic and out of touch that I don't even know what decade you're living in. Most of the homeless population suffers from mental issues or chemical dependency and sometimes both. Pretending like they're all just lazy guys you feel like living out on the street and sleeping under a bridge is just so fricking stupid. You should feel bad for all of your attempts both yesterday and today because they are terrible, disingenuous frickery.

Oh you mean the party that accuses liberals of being too emotional due to our compassion? What an idiot

They are a menace on my side of San Antonio. To the point that the city is taking steps to curb their frequency. Releasing ad campaigns to tell folks not to let them prey on the generosity of the good folks of this city.

Beyond that they're a damn hazard. Walking in between lanes of cars at traffic lights and such. Shocked more haven't been hit tbh.

There should be a fine for giving to beggars imo.



Man Trump has laid the lie to the conservative GOP myth. Not that anyone with anything twist the ears needed more proof but state intervention into a business transaction between individuals. Fine the beggar , fine the giver .

How bout telling them to get a job or maybe offer to buy them a meal? I guess feeding them should also be against the law. Or maybe just tell them you ain’t giving them anything? Why do you need the state to do your bidding?

So if you enjoy my attempts at comedy then they aren't really attempts, now are they? I enjoy watching you misuse sentences in an attempt to sound above me.

Most don't want a meal. They get food at the shelter or soup kitchen.

Bitch, please. You better watch out for people driving with no seat belt, flying through their windshield when they wrecked, and their disembodied torso killing a random hobo

Here’s an idea: round up the homeless and send them to Antarctica.

See yet again you didn't read what I posted before spewing a load of crap...I didn't say the person would fly through the car and strike a pedestrian, I said if the person is incapacitated and his CAR/VEHICLE then hits a pedestrian whereas he/she might have otherwise maintained control of his vehicle and prevented the car from causing a secondary accident...no wonder you think my example was outrageous, you damn twisted it and turned it into something outrageous...come to think of it, that's how you libs operate.

You never said whether you thought it should be a crime for a man to verbally proposition a woman after he has already been rebuffed.
