John Stossel tried it in Manhattan, and sure enough, I made over $11 in one hour—that would be $23,000 a year—tax free!

$11 in one hour does not mean an average $11 per hour over a 40-hour work week over 52 weeks.

Agree.

Extrapolating that out over a year is a bit of a stretch.

That’s the equivalent of finding a 20 bill in the road and thinking that you are going to find $7300 over the course of the year.

My son on cocaine, said her could make $40 an hour. John Stossel needed to add some layers of grub, dirty pants, beard that is dirty and teeth that are falling out, he would have gotten more.

Right. I love in Portland OR. He must have been having an off day or he is just inexperienced.

Some of the more aggressive panhandlers consistently make 100 dollars a day or more.

He got about $90 in 8 hours. This included when he was holding a sign that said something like, "I won't lie to you, I need a beer".
