Just think about what you are implying. That blind people are not taxpaying members of the public?!! That they are sitting around on the sidewalk selling pencils with a tin cup and a seeing eye dog, and sponging off your tax dollars. The few that I know are well-educated professionals, and probably pay as much taxes as you do. They often travel alone, to conferences and on vacation. He!!, they even think they are normal. Why should they walk into a store and give a clerk a twenty for a fourteen dollar purchase, and get two dollars back as change? Maybe they should hire a fulltime personal assistant so that they don't tax the limits of your generosity.
