  There are some tissue paper sellers who are legally blind. Much as I feel sorry for them, I think the price of one pack of tissue paper (10 sheets) is too high.

  Already no money still pay rent maybe can give tax rebates to those who give money to the beggers

  But that would only encourage begging which is not what the government want?
  
  Maybe would only introduce a new form of tax on the money begged...?
