I don't. This profession needs to end and vagrant laws need to be enforced. There are beggars at Old Virginia Rd. near Walmart that change shifts, stand there with signs asking for donations while on both sides of the road Del Taco and Jack in the Box are begging for help.Begging has become a business, license them and tax them.

I might buy you a meal, but I will not give money because they turn around and use it for drugs and whos to say they’re actually poor. They could be just people making extra money on the side..
