[quote=Anonymous]I've always wondered why people give money to beggars. I see the same people on corners in DC and Maryland year after year with their signs asking for help. On occasion, I've seen some of the beggars who appeared to be handicap, get up out of their wheel chair, walk across the street and get in their car. I see drivers hand money to beggars and I wonder: how do you know this person actually needs this money vs. this is what they do for a living? How do you rationalize it knowing that a lot of people do this as their job, not because they truly need help? Maybe I'm too jaded but I see these people and think: get a real job. Asking for freebies is not a job. But then I know some people really do need the help. How do you tell the difference? I mean, I understand helping a person who is truly homeless, whether living on the streets or in shelters (and I've helped those people), but the people who are begging for a living...do you give them money? Why/Why not?[/quote]
