The government will pay for it.

Its free stuff.

They dont realize it comes from their taxes. Someone has to pay for this stuff.

We should give more money to the central government so that they can have the states beg for it back to fund their education system. I bet that will solve the problem /sarcasm

I thought we had a child obesity problem in America? There are more than just two alternatives. Taking money by force from one person and giving some of that money to another is not charity. It's legalized plunder. Americans will take care of each other if we are just left the hell alone. And, for the sake of argument, if we didn't, is legalized plunder a better option? Which one is worse? If we have welfare, it must be at the state level, if not at a local level.

I don't want kids to starve either but how much of my hard work goes to this should be MY choice, not Joe Biden's, yours or Barack Obama's. Charity is just that -- charity -- NOT a "right" and it should be personal and private.

Maybe, just maybe, some of those kids wouldn't be starving if their parents got off their entitled butts and looked for work, no matter how detrimental it may seem to their precious self esteem.

Maybe those kids wouldn't be starving if their parents used the limited money they received for food and not 20" spinning rims on their cars that cost more than my daily work commute vehicle. (Heck, just a pair of those rims cost more than the value f my whole car)

Maybe those kids wouldn't be starving if I wasn't getting taxed so severely that I quit giving to true charities that provided food and essentials to families.

But hey, what do I know? I'm just some stupid sap who is susceptible to drug testing, required to take regular polygraphs, and doing everything else I can to keep the job that I do not enjoy so I can continue to make my own way in this world instead of having it handed to me for nothing.
