So it is, then, reserved for the privileged?
If they are asking for/depending on me to give them the funds to do so, then yes. I'm not going to give away my funds to give them anything I don't want to support/perpetuate.

If someone is going to ask me for money or support, then I get to make decisions as to how they use it. If they don't like it, then...they can refuse to ask for my money!

I appreciate what Jetstream said about enabling too.

Now, the mentally disturbed folks, it's wrong that they're homeless. I feel very bad for them. I understand that situation, but I usually can't help, or it would put me in a dangerous position to even try.
