A big nose or flat chest doesn't label someone as underclass, poor or white trash.
My uncle has a set of crooked teeth, yet has sat on the board with some of the most influential people that have roamed this earth for the last 50-60 years.
I really don't think there's anyone with eyes to see with that would classify him as underclass, poor or white trash.
I really think you don't know what the hell you're talking about friend.
Nobody deserves anything. Things need to be earned. Now if someone falls on tough times their family, private charity and maybe the government can help.
Yes, and some parents are not responsible, and its not their kids fault.
I pay into all the entitlement programs, so I would be paying for it.
You are right, it is not the kids' fault. But guess what? THAT IS LIFE! THAT IS HOW LIFE WORKS! No, it isn't fair. Yah, it does suck for some people. Again, that's called LIFE.
When those kids get older, if they are so disturbed by their teeth, they can get their teeth fixed. As was mentioned, it is entirely possible to get braces when you are an adult. Many adults have gone through it because their parents could not afford the braces when they were younger...and, those adults are leading healthy, productive lives! They are accepting that sometimes life isn't the same for one family as it is for another. But instead of whining and begging for everyone elses money, they suck it up, they save up the money, and then they get their own teeth fixed when they are adults. And...they have jobs, too!

OK. I guess the difference is the level of compassion someone has for others. I have compassion and empathy for underprivileged children who are born into bad lives. When they get older it is harder to feel sorry for them, but they deserve some of the basic benefits and opportunities afforded to children who were born into families with decent parents.
If you have such compassion then start a charity and get folks to donate money for braces. Don't run around here saying you think the government should STEAL more money from us to pay for em. YOU do something. I mean braces?? We're talking a 1st world problem here. There are kids who don't eat for a few days even in the US. How bout you go feed them.
I don't agree with our foreign policy at all. All I'm saying is that defense is constitutional.
So, go help some children. Nobody is stopping you.
Wanna cookie for "talking" compassionately?
We by far have the largest military in the world. We could cut it in half and still have the best defense. We also have a reputation of invading countries for issues other than defense and spending billions.
BTW...No real alpha male would have the actual screen name "alpha male." Its not too hard to believe that that screen name was available when you choose it. I bet you were excited!

Really? You have compassion? You're going to sit there and advocate that people's money be stolen to pay for someone elses irresponsibility, and you have the audacity to claim that you are compassionate?
So, I get taxed even more, which means I can afford even less food than I do now, because two people couldn't keep their hands off of each other....and you call that compassion? B.S.
