As for the mental problem thing - a lot can still work but don't. That is just reality.

Whatever man. I've met people with corporate high paying jobs who in my eyes are low life losers too. And i've met people with illegitimate jobs (drug dealers etc) who don't need to ask you for money, but make more money than normal hardworking people by taking advantage of people. I think its arrogant and ignorant to point at homeless people in general and say they are the lowest scum on the earth, as you have. They are in a crappy position, through whatever factors contributed to it. Being in that situation is probably like living life in hell, and it can't be easy to get up every day in a dumpster and think "today is my day, im gonna go out and succeed"...the position that many homeless people are in is probably fairly paralyzing.
Ones job, or lack of job doesn't neccessarily define what kind of person they are.
