Because the odds are pretty high that the person you are arguing with on the right goes to church. Also they keep calling us the godless left. So its sort of amusing to see how easily the majority throw away their belief in god for their political beliefs.
there you go, stereotyping again. Well, Rachel suffers from it too, but still - you be you.
Government CAN fix some of those things. Parenting education offered through WIC. HeadStart and Early HeadStart, etc.
Will those be a requirement to receive benefits? Will there be random checks to ensure education is followed? I don't want requirements or checks on people who are free to make their own mistakes. And I can't get behind more $ for education when a community can't help its own people to get out of poverty.

Well, I did, but I guess you didn't read it.
I named two families in poverty who are doing none of the things you are smearing a huge chunk of the American population with.
And they're struggling mightily. And they're not criminals, or producing children they can't support, and they're working long hours, and they love their children.
You, on the other hand, don't know any of these people, so it's hard for me to believe you could know they "don't love their children", or that "they're out committing crimes". I was out with one teen girl, teaching her how to open a bank account, and we had to go back to the bank because she had accidentally taken the pen from the counter. Would you have done that?
Your OP: Please explain to me why anybody should have sympathy for the poor
