I get up and go to work everyday to support my family. What does he do? What would give him the right to be mad at me because I wouldn't share my hard earned money with him? If anyone should be mad, it should be me!

No flaming here...I agree completely.
I am a 911 dispatcher and you have no idea how many people I see abuse the system and call just because they don't have a ride to the hospital. We waste out resources on a cold....because they are on welfare and the trip will be paid......by people like you and me. Meanwhile someone's loved one who is having a heart attack has a delayed response to their house because the ambulance was tied up with a "taxi ride".
Trust me, I feel your frustration every. single. day.
If you work in the cities and watch these people it gets interesting. They do it for a living. They sit there with their signs, and when they think noone is watching they get on their cell phones and chit chat until some sap is coming, then they drop the phone down behind the sign and beg for money.
Yet they won't go with you to get food, they want the money. Seriously won't take up your offer to bring them out to lunch. That is when you know they are not truely down and out.
