meazza Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 One of the NY tabloids followed a panhandler in the city a couple years ago. This woman was setting herself up to look homeless and collecting hundred each day. At the end of the day, she'd get up and take the train home. 506235[/snapback] ya i think i got a new career ahead of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I did a quick and dirty calculation and figured if a dollar was his average donation, the guy was probably pulling down about $40/hr...basically, making more than I did, and tax-free. That was the last time I gave a panhandler money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
