2. I have a friend, a republican, that I haven't seen for some time.

One of the stories that she would tell is how her mother saw a pan handler get into a Cadillac when he was done asking for money at the end of the day.

It boggles the mind on a few fronts.

1) Would somebody really make enough to be able to afford a Cadillac by begging for change?

2) If it ever happened it must be urban legend, and the person doing it was running a scam; whereas the majority of pan handlers aren't. In my experience they used to be mentally unstable, but now there are more "average" people that have fallen through the cracks due to this country's great safety net.

3) They're just doing what every other republican does by lying to make money off of the backs of others.


I'm not sure how anybody can really believe that those who ask for change on a corner lead wonderful lives.
They don't comprehend most things that need grey matter. appleannie1 Sep 2012 #1
