Beggars of the world...Unite !!!

The reason why i have asked all of you to turn up at such an early hour is to have an open discussion... why ?
Well my brothers in alms...i am fed up.. i am sick and tired of the lack of self respect.. the so called middle class does not seem to realise how tough a profession ours is... it aint easy to go up to those morons and beg.. let them give it a try... they never will.. and they dont realise the importance of us beggars...they dont realise the link we form in the economic cycle...

We need to stand up and be counted for.. We need to fight.. We need a union..but our union should be different...we unite not in strikes..we unite not for politics..we unite for the sake of penury...
I propose to start a union..but i dont like the term union..it has a negative ring to it.. prefer to call it a conglomeration...and this conglomeration shall be called..... Albow(l) inc. pronounced ALL BOW.. as everyone will bow before us... we will have as our symbol an Aluminum Bowl..
.
Our first proposal will be a ban on Child Labour within the organisation...no more will children beg... this will ensure that these kids dont exploit us older men... the bloody kids have become too smart these days..and with technology having become what it is..they get greater exposure at a younger age.. and in our business knowledge is power... kids run faster and have better physical capabilties and they also get more sympathy from the people and hence eat into our profits...kids are smart alecs who may take over our organisation right from under our noses.. Hence for our betterment..we should ban child beggars under the pretext of a ban on child labour.

We should divide the conglomeration into different ministries or rather have seperate holding companies that will be separate entities but come under the umbrella of the Albow conglomeration.. I shall elucidate on what I mean by that... We should have a separate entity taking care of tourist spots... a separate entity for beggars with physical deformties... a separate entity for old aged.. a separate one for singers and artists.. separate mobile one which will take care of beggars who have to travel on trains and buses... separate entities for different corporations and cities... Having such separate entities will ensure that no one eats into the other's profit.. these entities will collect the daily wages and take a small bit and put it in a fixed deposit account...the members of each entity will get a share of the interest generated and have separate accounts in banks initially, where the interest will get distributed in their names.. in the near future, the members will get insurace as well.. of course you wont have mediclaim cos that will eat up into the profits we can get.. always remember - a sick beggar is more valuable than a healthy beggar.

Taking inspiration from the present goverment's Employment Guarantee Scheme... I propose to have a 100 day begging duty guarantee scheme where we could combine it with a paid holiday.. what i am trying to say is.. for eg. We give holiday for ten members from the physical disabilty entity in a particular city..and during those ten days..we replace their post with trainees...these trainees will get hundred days in ten day shifts every year...
We should also have an age limit for the members... the age limit should be flexible.. those with physical disabitily can be members at a young age...those with no handicaps whatsoever apart from poverty should become members only when they cross 58 years of age...till that time they are physically capable of doing menial tasks...
In case there are those special beggars who cant find menial jobs... they can join the pension scheme where they will get pension till they become fifty eight years of age.. membership to the pension scheme will be open to only those who bring with them the right references...

And finally, the first and foremost task is to remove the false notion of prostitution being the oldest profession by legitimising Begging as a profession....

Now, all those in favour of the setting up of Albow Inc... say please !!!
