I agree. We have panhandlers on the corner at the end of my street with signs "will work for food". I stopped and told one man I had a fence that needed washing and he told me, "Oh no. I have a bad back I can't work". Also, I have seen one couple asking for money and that evening saw them playing internet games at the local Internet Sweepstakes business (didn't seem too hungry to me}.

I used to be a "crusader" to the homeless and I ended up believing that at least 90% of them are homeless because they want to be and I'd guess about the same percentage of people who ask for handouts are doing it because it beats what they could make at a regular job.
