Anatole France once wrote: ?The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets or steal bread.?

I wonder what we intend to do with these laws, other than harrass the homeless and sweep the problem off the streets of our cities, so we need not be bothered?

Why not simply make it illegal to be poor? That ought to solve the problem....
