Really? When did you start paying to access the internet? I'm not talking about paying for a high speed internet connection in your home, that's a convenience you choose to pay for. I'm asking you when you started paying for the internet and who do you pay?

While their financial situation may change, their pattern of putting their own wants above the needs of their children may not. I don't think being an irresponsible parent is a financial thing, I think it is a responsibility thing and likely won't change. Even though they had money, how could they demonstrate they had changed to parental material?

The fact someone needs it, doesn't automatically mean someone else should pay for it. Building roads, bridges and other infrastructure benefits everyone. Free health care of others doesn't benefit everyone who has to pay for it, since many of them also have to pay for their own health care.

With private health insurance, you already ARE paying for other people's care. You ARE.

This sterilization of young minority women already was done in our grand old USA ! And you wonder why women march. It it’s preposturous that anyone even think to bring that back to our country!!!!
They need to be reminded how many girls against their will became sterile and could never have a family - I hope all those involved are burning in hell today.!

roads could/would be built by private companies same as they are now, just absent the armed third party (a.k.a. the state).
If electric, cable, telephone, fiber-optic, water, etc. all found its way to your home, why would you expect roads to be any different?
Im not advocating for forced sterilization, so you can stop keep bringing it up.

Uh, during harvest time, I operate a combine or I haul their grain to the coop. They help me when calving arrives. That’s what neighbors do. No one sucks down free money and they have crop insurance. Your education regarding farmers and ranchers is sorely lacking. As most liberals have no clue what the family farm does to operate. In between I drive trains for BNSF. I am self reliant and sufficient.
