Say how about a bottle of Jack for these nice new boots - any chance you know a good lawyer too ?
At least the guy knows how to save. Let him know that next year the law requires him to get healthcare. Of course he may have to put those boots on to get into the library to use the computer to shop NY's exchange so he may need some more help.

This may come across as crass, but I have found in my experience, that there are 2 kinds of people in this world that think you owe them everything. The filthy rich and the homeless.

Probably send them to this Douchebag I know that lives in Jersey so that he can shove them up his ass.

Looks like the homeless man is not . . . homeless. I'm very happy that my tax dollars help him panhandle, we need more entitlement programs in this country. Who cares that government is already in debt.
