@quonn: It exlcudes begging for money, but wouldn't exclude begging for food and shelter.
There was a documentation about people living together in an apartment. They were maybe 10 people living together in one small apartment, eating not what they buy but what they can gather from super market garbage cans. They all had families and some had education and opportunity to work but they choose to live this way because of their political point of view. That's how they survived in Berlin on quite a small budget.
Is that a live I would choose? No. But it doesn't mean others don't choose that life.
What about the idea of poverty not being about money?
