Any thoughts???

Work requires working.Begging is much easier and more money can be made begging.

A half a century of rediculous government programs and thousands of "charitable" organizations have produced a "begging class" and a society full of people wanting to lend a "helping hand" to the less fortunate.

A good analogy would be the attitude about crime."Give them what they want and they won't hurt you."The results have been rampant crime and lots of dead people.

"GIVE them what they want and they'll be better for it."The results are rampant homelessness and beggars on the streets.
