Welfare

Welfare...
Is it a legitimate function of the government to take away the wealth that YOU created and hand it over to someone that's done nothing to earn it? Should those that achieve be punished by being forced to pay the way for those that didn't?

82, you are way too emotional.

Says the person who responded with "Shut the <I>fuck</I> up"? And yes, I think I have a right to be emotional about her considering she sacrificed everything in my name. If I'd never existed, her life would have been far, far better. But let's drop that before we both end up frothing at the mouth.

While I think people who have children with the purpose of getting more money from Welfare are beyond help, most single parent women who end up on welfare didn't do so voluntarily. Do people really have to choose between raising a child properly, and working to survive?

It's easy for men when they walk out the door, since they usually don't end up (nor want) custody of the child. When you don't have others depending on you, and needing your attention, it's so much simpler.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever raised any children?
