    there was a report on this in our local paper last year... cuz all the sudden guys were doing this all over the place - at one point there was like troop of people from the south rotating intersections and they would walk rite up to the car and loudly begging for money with buckets. NOT normal for new england.
    they discovered several people that were regulars doing this at intersections actually had nice homes, ect and were making a fortune. i dont remember if they were pulling in all the money from the begging or if the begging was a side job. nut it was a very hott topic for awhile here.

    if im at an intersection and they have a vet sign and i happen to be rite next to them while waiting for a light I hand them this packet that I keep in my client resources case. Its a 15 page book of local/ state/ country wide assistance for vets or military families that I compiled. But generally thats rear. I know what help our city has for homeless or under employed and Im at these agencies alot with clients.
    i dont have pitty or give from my own pocket- help is already available and easy to get ESPECIALLY if your not working and have all day to spend at the library and search online for free for programs

    I'll be real blunt. Many of these "beggers" are out there to sustain a drug/alcohol problem.

    I realize there is a homeless problem out there, but these assholes are just abusing it
