He never reported his income and always got paid in cash, drinks, food, beer ect... he said that people gave him all kinds of stuff.

When I asked him why all he would say was " beats working for a living.

Sounds like a person worthy of a good Samaritan giving him a 40 mph push start down the on-ramp in his wheel chair so he could really qualify for those medical treatments.
