Panhandling in Oregon

According to police, panhandlers in Coos Bay Oregon are making $300 a day. That works out to $78,000 a year, if they "work" 260 days a year. But, keep in mind, they're paid in cash, don't get a W-2 at the end of the year, and are therefore eligible for welfare, indigent care at hospitals, and food stamps.
