2) Most of them have not just fallen upon "hard times." Most of them aren't even making an attempt to do anything, thus they deserve no sympathy.
3) When a regular person falls upon hard times, who generally throws money at them like it is going out of style? Nobody.
4) You would be surprised at the number of homeless people who have "conditions" and already receive money from the government. Enough to survive on if they didn't drink or piss it all away.
5) How do you seperate "hustlers" from legitimate people who need help? And if they legitmately need help, and HAVE fallen upon hard times, why can't they go to a temporary work place and find something temporary, pull somone's weeds, or find odd and end jobs to work out? I don't get MY money for free, so why should I just give it a way to a non-legitimate charitable cause for free?
6) Just giving them money perpetuates and enables their incorrect behavior. Do not expect to achieve behavior A by rewarding behavior B. It isn't going to work. Never has, never will.
7) Assuming everyone just gives them a "little bit" of money, pretty soon they are raking in more than you, and yet there you are working harder for less money. Where is the incentive in that?
Personally, I just tell them no. They can bitch, complain, or try to start shit about it all they want. They aren't getting it.
