anastasia: Also, I would say that the "homeless" who fight over the best traffic corners to beg for money are mostly 100% scammers. No, I have no actual proof, but you also dont have any proof that they are not scammers, so given that nobody has any proof here, except the local news who did hidden camera stories on many of them here in Florida, wouldnt you prefer to give your money to some local charity who has the time and resources to make sure that your money is going to people who really need it?

That gets me back to Tuesday and her "I dont mind giving my money to the government to let them do things for us"..... when you complain about Katrina and the many other things our government does badly..... I just dont understand how in one breath people can be so critical of the government, and then in the next think that their tax dollars are spent more frugally to help people than we could do spending the money ourselves more at the local level?????

It seems so basic to me...if I need my driveway paved, am I better off taking my money to a local contractor and getting er done? Or to give my money to the Feds and let them take care of it for me????

Its a no brainer really.... your money will always be spent better and more wisely and more efficiently when you spend it yourself over letting a bureaucratic nightmare or the government do it for you!

Conservatives dont want the homeless to get a job (well we do) but we just dont think that growing the government and increasing taxes is the best solution for solving our problems, and that the less we rely on government to solve our problems the better chance of having the problems resolved anyway!
