Lou, I think it is admirable you want to give to those less fortunate than you. Honestly, I really do think it is great of you to do that. Since you are so well off and feel guilty that "so many of Gods children are hungry, homeless and in need of mental and medical assistance." I say, give my friend. Tithes, give to charities, hand it to them on the streets. What ever means you decide. You give to your heart's delight.

I remember you talking about the beggers in TV. Quote from Lou, "I drove up and down 14th street through Washington DC for 6 years. There was one begger that was there on the same corner only in the morning, but at about 6:30 am when I went thru, he was more reliable than my workers. He only had a very small sign that said HELP PLEASE. For six years, every morning, and I would see maybe one out of every 5 or 6 cars had him something. Never a bag of food or a blanket, but hand to hand most likely change. Lights changed at about 3 minute intervals. Figure if he only got 50 Cents in Change per donation, 20 times per hour, thats 10.00 dollars tax free per hour. I feel it was probably a lot more than 10 dollars. Why work for min wage with that kind of take for just standing up with your hand out."
