Unethical Panhandling?

Question: 

Is it morally unethical to ask for money because you’re homeless, yet you have the money to afford rent and are too lazy to get a job?
Answer:

1. If a person claims to be homeless when looking for help but they are not, then that is lying and so unethical.
2. Panhandling while not homeless is ethical, as it is just a means for people to ask for support. I’ve seen fathers go on the street and hold signs asking for help for their electric bill. As long as people are honest.
3. If you want to hold a sign, but not tell your story, the sign can read, “Anything helps” and hold it proudly. Then you are asking, but not lying.
4. Flying a sign doesn’t make very much money. Maybe 30 dollars a day, if you have a good demographic. (women and people with animals receive more). Tough to pay rent on that.
5. Flying a sign isn’t easy. Emotionally, it’s as hard as a job, and if you want to pay rent with it, you’d have to do it every day. Frankly, getting a job is more lucrative and often less work, even temporary labor. Almost all people who fly a sign do so because they can’t get work, not because they’re lazy.
