The panhandlers ought organize into a church , apply for a 501 (c) (3) and legally join the real beggars.
LOL. I quit my church years ago over the constant begging for money and trying to embarrass you into giving more.
Churches fill a spiritual and social need, and rather than being beggars, churches provide enormous aid to those less fortunate. Long before the government started taxing our incomes to provide social services, it was the churches who cared for widows and orphans and all those who were strugglibg throufh no fault of their own. Today, American churches devote millions of dollars every day to a multitude of worthy causes. And, they do not have to beg for a penny!
