Homelessness and begging should not be a crime.  And there's no excuse for chronic homelessness in our wealthy country.  Haters can make all the excuses they want, like, "They (beggars) won't accept a job", but the truth is the jobs out there are not living wage jobs.  Even if a person killed himself trying to hold down two or three low wages jobs, he can't make it without help.

Our society needs to change the way it views the marginalized, stop making excuses for the widening income gap, and offer a hand up to those who are doing their best to make it in the world.
