It's been shown in studies that I'm not willing to search right now that a much larger percentage of Homeless people than other Americans are mentally ill, or substance dependant. People who say that it's their own fault have not seen their friends go homeless due to drugs or getting kicked out of their houses by their parents.
Not many people really want to beg for scraps of food, sleep outside in 30 degree weather, or have to worry about getting knifed by junkies in shelters.
And just because exploitation happens everywhere doesn't mean that it's right. These guys are no better than pimps who take coke addicted girls and turn them out on the street, and should be treated as such.
