I think you are both wrong.... I think it is the MAJORITY of the visible so called "homeless" that you see at the highway intersection are frauds!
The really desperate homeless, the ones who truely need our help, are not the visible ones on the intersection.
But the fact that they can make so much (frauds or not frauds) testifies to how generous the private sector is and can be, just the opposite of what you say the private sector is?
These news stories didnt take months looking around for a fraud,,, they went to one major intersection and followed the people there, and they found what they make and they followed them to their homes and watched them drop of kids to their families.... it was either a stroke of huge coincidence, or it was an indication of the fraud that goes on is deeper than you believe!
There are many homeless shelters and other community resources available to the truly homeless, and I dont think if you show up at one of them, they are going to send you out to the highway intersection to beg for money! The reason they are on the intersection and not at the local community help center is because they are NOT really home less!!! They make more money than you and I together by dressing dirty and holding a sign on the corner, tax free too! Give me someone with that much ambition, I will put them to work doing something that is productive for society and helps with the tax burden!
Tuesday: These people fight over the good intersections and they are there all the time, if it was just some guy who couldnt get into the shelter today or this week or whatever, then they were gone later.... but they are not, they are mostly scammers who are making tons of money, they have no desire to be stuck in some homeless shelter eating soup, they have it made out on the streets, and they have physical fights with other scammers to protect their hot corners!!!
proof chuck...PROOF...back up your statements with hard facts
Okay, no facts, but proof enough for me, unless you happen to believe in coincidence, which I really dont... but you see them fighting over their "territory" on the good traffic corners... doesnt sound like a poor homeless person just trying to get by until the local shelter can get him a bed and some soup!
