Would you give $0.50 to a homeless man? How about to a business man?

Would you give $0.50 to a homeless man? How about to a business man?

I found this video interesting. Apparently, people are much more likely to give money to a business man than they are to a homeless man.

Why do you think this is? I suppose it is because people believe that the homeless man is more likely to spend the money on alcohol or drugs than the business man. But is that really true?

giving money to the homelessIn this video, we’re only talking about $0.50, but I sometimes look at the millions of dollars our government and our churches spend on helping the rich in various ways, and I wonder what would happens if we used that money to help the poor and the homeless.

And no, I am not talking about more handouts, food stamps, and welfare…

I don’t have any answers, just questions. I do know, however, that as more and more of our populations sinks deeper and deeper into poverty, what we are doing now is not working. I always wonder … if Jesus were President, how would He solve the growing poverty and welfare problem in the United States and around the world?
