When I arrived in bay area, I found not too many homeless people but there were few. Often they asked for "change".
So I thought I might be able to use these people as handyman. So I asked one of them if he would help me cleaning my car and moving furniture. I offered him $20, some used clothes and chilled beer. He shrugged saying he doesn't want my money. He told me that if he wanted work, he could get it easily and had held many jobs in past.
Being a homeless enabled him get various type of welfare from government he easily made $800 per month from government. He said he could get a job for $3000 a month but then it is not a major improvement over getting $800 for doing nothing.
US needs to rethink its welfare measure. They are winning votes but wrecking the country.
Given two choices, people tend to make the choice that maximizes their interest. I am certain that this example is an indicative of what most are likely to think.
