#1 Begging is a good profession. You can make decent money, work your own hours, be your own boss, and pay no taxes. Actual poor people who have no choice are few, as depicted here.

#2 Trying to be a UAE. That's A-rabs, yo! Oil drenched, muslin wearin', Bugatti drivin', club groovin' A-rabs! Y'all gonna never get there!

What they should do is tax the beggars. Make them pay protection money like every other South asian bureaucracy.
