To some degree, "begging" has become a business model of finding the easiest way to make money. However, there are many who truly need the help. It's up to you to decide who receives your help. Yep, YOU decide who gets your donations. It's hard, but make sure the help you give goes to those who actually need it.
As to the "system", if your definition of the system is people volunteering to help people in need, then your choice to donate is a choice to be part of that system. It's not hurting it, it's part of it. You are volunteering to give, not forced.
Side note: I don't consider people doing something as entertainment "begging". It's an attempt to exchange time for money. I find it similar to going to a theatre. Of course I won't pay the same prices, but it's entertainment nonetheless. I feel busking is work, where they put in energy and time hoping to receive compensation, just like most people who have "regular" jobs.
