Same bucket as those âI pay your salaryâ guys who always remind public servants that their tax is why they get a salary.

The Venn diagram of these people, those who wonât give beggars money because âthey must go back home!â, âthey must get a jobâ, âtheyâll just buy drugsâ and those who are always hooting and complaining about the recycling guys digging through their rubbish is a circle.
