My tax dollars are affording these people an opportunity to get off the streets and get their lives back on track. No free-loading bum is going to get change off of me! Most of the time they'll use it for something I don't approve of.
You know how to help people who ask for change? You ask them what they want, and if they want a drink or a bus ticket, then you buy them a drink or bus ticket! If you're generous enough to give more of your hard-earned money to homeless people, then make the effort to give them what they say, rather than give them what they want. At least you know your money is being well-spent.
