Correct. There is a problem, and that problem is people having children they can't provide for. However, that should not make their problem my problem. Child birth is a choice--not an infliction. Nobody has children that didn't perform the act.
If you want to solve a problem, you don't go to the end game, you go right to where the problem started in the first place.
This is why I believe that if you apply for any public assistance, you don't get one dime until you are fixed first. This would be at the expense of the taxpayers, but it's a well worth investment.
If you are a female, then you don't get any assistance until you get your tubes tied. If you are a male, you have to get a vasectomy before you get one dime of my money.
In most cases, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. By allowing poor people going on government assistance to not only have children, but as many children as they desire, it's impossible to reduce or put an end to poverty.
This is the mindset of too many-
I also saw a video posted on Facebook of a tax payer who went off on some welfare recipients. He saw them buying a bunch of groceries with an EBT card, then pay cash for some lotto tickets. The couple walked out to a nice vehicle and the pregnant women was smoking (another expense habit). Anyway, the guy was out of line because you shouldn't approach people the way he did but he had a point. He yelled at the couple, then took some steak out of their cart and said that steak is only for tax payers. I'm sure the guy got in trouble, but he sure let them have it. Thing is, instead of yelling at people in parking lots and risking a fight, he should be writing to congress and maybe starting a petition to change things. The recipients of tax money think they are entitled and will never be convinced that they are wrong to take our money and waste it on cigarettes and beer. And they won't stop having kids because that means more cash.
These people love it when they hear politicians talking about how they are entitled to even more. They want free everything. Housing, food, school, utilities, phones, college and healthcare. They do not expect to actually have to pay for any of that.
Here's another loser who gets money for rent, on top of other stipends, and yet doesn't think he should actually waste the money on rent. When you're talking about the "rights" people think they have, this is the mentality you are dealing with. You cannot reason with these people or get them to understand that they are not entitled or deserving just because they exist.
