Deflection.
Are you claiming that you wouldn't feel happiness if a small portion of the taxes you pay went to feed needy children?
I'd feel happiness if you bleeding hearts would voluntarily do with your own money what you demand the rest of us be forced to do on this matter. The government need not be involved. If people like you would actually go out and do with your own money what you find for the rest of us to do with ours, the problem would be solved. It won't happen because it would mean you would actually have to do it rather than talk about it being done.
If we all stopped paying that small portion in taxes that goes to SNAP, WIC, and other social safety services and donated it to just charities that help needy children, it would not stop people from having kids who shouldn't and taking advantage of these charities.
The state has a compelling interest in the welfare of children. Otherwise we would have no Child Protective Services.
If you bleeding hearts pooled your own money together and personally gave to those you say deserve your money to the level you claim compassion, taxes wouldn't need to be taken for such things. Even it that didn't stop people from having kids, at least they'd be abusing your money and I could care less because it's YOUR money.
I agree.
All those who think all these bullshit social programs are great should pool THEIR money and give it to all those folks that say they need it. Believe me they will take every dime you want to give them.
Hope they have lots of money because freeloaders abound in the U S of A.
The word charity doesn't exist in the constitution.
Taxpayers money wasn't supposed to be used to support every poor person there was.
The tought of money being used for that would have never entered anyones mind back in colonial America. People took care of themselves and no one expected the Govt to give them squat.
Today we have an entire generation who thinks the Govt is here to take care of them. To pay for their food, housing and any medical care they need using taxpayer money and boy do they lap it up. "Free" money.
The Govt isn't supposed to take care of anyone. Your supposed to take care of yourselves.
As a taxpayer I'm sick of my hardearned money going to some douchbag who can't take care of themselves or their kids.
As for the kids? They are the resonsibility of their parents not the taxpayers of america.
did your douchbag children attend public school? did you?
-----when I was a kid I liked to do street roller skating-----
remember those metal things we latched onto our shoes?
When my dad said "taxes pay for the side walks"-----It was
clear to me that I benefitted from taxes----as to school---I would have been happy to do without it
I have no kids because I couldn't afford to have kids so made sure I didn't have any. Unlike the freeloaders we have today.
As for the sidewalks?? Taxes pay for the sidewalks and the infrastructure.
I pay local, State and Fed taxes so I think I can use those sidewalks.
I have no problem paying taxes. I do have a big problem when my hardearned dollars go to support some douchbag who can't or won't take care of themselves.
Not my responsibility to bankroll their lives for em and it sure ain't the responsiblity of the other taxpayers in America either.
The word Charity isn't in the contitution and thats what all this social bullshit is. Charity.
