You're right. All children on welfare are the results of forced rape. Lock up them babies daddies.And you know that this was her choice, how exactly?

why would I do that?, I already pay taxes for a government that has programs to help the poor.
I think the country would be very different than you think, if we all indivually could direct exactly where our tax dollars go.
I wonder what leads someone to being in that situation.

That curiosity seems to be rare based on this thread.
Take the case of 29-year-old Jennifer Stepp, who lives in Reading, Pa. Like 14 million other people in the U.S. who live in families headed by single mothers, she's poor. And she faces incredible odds.
Stepp has three children by three different fathers. The father of her eldest child, 10-year-old Isaiah, is serving 30 years in federal prison for armed robbery.
"He's met my son one time, when he was a baby. And he decided that he didn't want him," she says.
Stepp's middle child, 8-year-old Shyanne, usually sees her father every other weekend. But the father of her younger son is also in prison. Stepp says he's been behind bars for selling cocaine since she was pregnant. He has never met 1-year-old Makai.
Yes, but the government produces overhead. I'm giving you the opportunity to gladly help people - directly - in need. Don't you want to help people in need in the most efficient way possible? What about this is worrying you?
Oh, I'm sure it wouldn't be different than I'd think. But, for sure, at least The People would have no one to blame but themselves.

If your pissed your money goes to feed the poor, I can counter with im pissed my money goes to buy depleted uranium.
For every thing your upset your tax money is used on I have things im upset my tax money is used on.
Every charity produces overhead, and in addition to taxes I do donate to charity. What is it that you dont understand that as a substianal tax payer im good with the government programs? and feel they add value and benefit that woudldn't be found in the private not for profit sector?

It would seem we should lock them up after they CHOOSE to have a child they cannot feed.
Pretty simply. Its exactly the same way we deal with murderers.
Sorry, Chuck, it's the system that our politicians have set up. She's playing by the rules just like all those 1%ers "dodging" their taxes with loopholes.Yes, but this thread is about people abusing/scamming the system,
You're right. All children on welfare are the results of forced rape. Lock up them babies daddies.
But what if they CHOOSE to have an abortion after they carelessly get pregnant, which means they are in essence CHOOSING to not have a child they cannot feed?

Btw, you sound like a very deranged individual who would be an absolute tyrant if you were afforded any measure of power

A lot of children on welfare are a result of dads taking off and not fulfilling their financial obligations.
Should the children be made to suffer for this?
The problem really is, they got PG in the first place. What they need to do in these poor communities is just go scorched earth policy: Mandatory BC, or, society will let you and your kid starve in the street. Nice/"Nice" suggestions, policies, etc. clearly aren't working. There is no stick to the carrot and stick approach, it's simple carrot or honey glazed carrot, and we keep being astonished to find that people keep choosing honey glazed carrot option over being responsible and self-reliant.
Won't ever fix the problem (of leeches leeching on society) that way.
Sorry, I thought you were saying she didn't have a choice to have them, ie. forced.Sarcasm isn't much of a substitute for a sensible reply.

If a woman CHOOSES to have a child out of wedlock she cannot feed who is at fault for that child's suffering?

There is no reason we cannot cut back on both. And in fact I would whole heartily support cutting back on both.
Why do you assume everyone who wants to cut money spent feeding the poor would not also want to cut the things you want to cut spending on?
I paid almost 8k in Federal this year......and after doing some preliminary figuring, looks like I'm going to be sending in about 2K more....I really should just quit working and start gaming the system
I don't want to live in a country where an innocent child is allowed to starve in the street to teach it's parent(s) a lesson, and you should be ashamed for even suggesting it.
