street beggers

[aubreygraham]

What do you think, government should do with them? Should they continue this or take step forward to stop it?

Your city government can pass an ordnance against public begging, and then order the police to remove them.

But that is the hard way. The easy way is for people to stop giving money to the beggars.

In what country/city? What do you think? What is your opinion? What do you propose the 'government' should do? Why not start programs to help? Do they not have rights? How should they remove them? What should be done to them? How are they going to get the help they need?

Etc.

I have seen small babies begging out there at streets. That is what melts out the heart on poor, poverty and illiteracy. At least some action for begging on children should definitely be taken.

Some of the smartest young people I know collect on average $400 a day in Chicago, Detroit, Texas, and Florida. Do the math. Things are not always as they appear.

Nothing. Government should look in the mirror.

In the united states we have freedom of speech. This includes asking people for money. The role of government is not to ensure your comfort, not to maintain your value systems, but to protect your rights.

You do not have a right to not be asked for spare change. Provided that a panhandler is not engaging in a threatening manner or some other manner that violates your rights, it must be permitted.

The genuine question is not what we should do about panhandlers, but rather how we should confront chronic poverty as a whole.

But another way to look at panhandling is that they ARE offering a service. When people give to panhandlers they feel good about what they are doing - no matter how misdirected. That feeling of goodwill is what panhandlers are "selling" whether they know it or not. They use funds from selling this product to often do what many people do with their paychecks, to buy drugs or alcohol.

From a purely pragmatic point of view, if you're going to get upset about panhandlers using the funds procured to buy liquor, then you should have the same issue when you buy any other product. The difference is only the degree which these individuals are able to function as addicts.
