The same people handing cash to beggars play the lotto and throw more money away. The wealthy know the value of saving and investing. Donations are made in a planned manner. Not to randos on the street.
I prefer my donation to be direct - to those who need it. When you donate to "charities" who do you think in getting the $$ - 95% goes to the losers who run the charity. When I give to those on street, I know exactly who is getting it. I don't care about tax breaks - I'm much richer than most living in McLean BTW so a little bit saved on taxes is mice nuts. I enjoy handing $$ to street people.
If you’re so wealthy then setup a foundation and you’ll control all donations. The 50 bucks you hand out to strangers isn’t going to do anything.
$50 to a homeless person goes a long way for them. Get a sense of yourself
How, exactly? How much goes to the professional organizer who transports them to and from their begging site daily? How much goes towards food or shelter because the existing facilities are insufficient (a claim nobody makes in Fairfax County, which has plenty of shelters and support for the homeless), how much goes for cigarettes,, alcohol, or drugs? No idea, right? But you'll give cash to people whose behavior demonstrates exactly no capacity or desire to exercise good judgment in improving their situations. The same people are out there day after day, your direct handouts of money is improving exactly nothing for them except reinforcing the notion that working or getting clean is for suckers.
