When "bogus" charities dupe generous persons of their contributions it harms the legitimate charities.  First, it reduces the contributions "available" by taking them and, secondly, it "sours" would-be contributors.  It's the same with the homeless and those able-bodied, able-minded travelers who choose to "hang-out" and live on the generousity of others.  IMO, their selfishness and self-indulgement does a huge disservice to those who really need assistance.  

I feel this is a serious issue impacting the level of assistance provided to our very needy homeless population.  You dismiss it as "not worth an answer."  May I suggest.......if you're really interested in supporting the homeless, you would either a) address the issue or b) make a rational argument why those able-bodied/able-minded travelers deserve the same support as the other segments of our homeless population.  Ignoring the issue and, instead, repeating your condemnation of the "middle class" is, IMO counterproductive. GC
