Okay,
So are you saying that because of politicians that people should beg from each other?
Listen, there's nothing I can do about people begging, but when they ask me, the answer is no.

No. Don't be silly. I merely asked you whether you apply the same reasoning and logic you used to denigrate the beggar to those rich Wall Street CEOs who did exactly the same thing in 2008. You see, there currently seems to be a tendency for middle class folks to look down at the poor with shame and loathing but not to rich people. Curious phenomena isn't it?
And of course when people beg you tell them no. Otherwise, if they took your spare change without your consent they would be "takers", not "beggars".
