I wondered how long it would be before someone played either the 'victim' or the 'racism' card. Or both.
lol I was thinking the same thing, the race card is the first and last card in the liberal deck, after 50 years the deck is at the bottom card....they are all but out of the game..
Yeah, but OP wanted to limit this to talking about poor people, so I'm just playing along.
What's the alternative? Hungry children can't learn. You can't take out your anger at the poor by starving their children.
In affluent Finland, every school serves a hearty lunch that is free for every child.
Every family, regardless of income gets about $85 a month per child from the government because the Finns know that it is in their country's interest to have well cared for, well-nourished children.
They usually score about second in international educational testing.
America is so eager to penalize the poor,whip them into shape, make them get off their lazy butts, that we end up shooting ourselves in the foot.

yeah you cant do that in this nation, too many people, and a never ending river of poverty via a open border to the 3rd world.
No. It just doesn't punish their bad behavior. Poor people have been having kids, regardless if there was a welfare system in place. If we erased it tonight, we'd still have the same problem in 10 years.
Someone's got to pay, someone's got to be held accountable.
She has 15 kids to 3 baby daddy's so why does she feel the tax payer has to pay? Why does she feel the tax payer should be held accountable because she doesn't know how to say NO!?
Okaaaay, who is getting welfare? Rich people? Middle-class people? Or are you including tax loopholes that the rich employ to avoid paying taxes as welfare for the rich? I'd be happy to discuss welfare for the rich, but I don't think they were the "wrong" people you had in mind.
Why are you trying to deny the entire premise of your thread which you have spelled out quite clearly?
