First of all, I'm not anti-family. I just feel like I paid my share,
others should do the same.
If our tax dollars weren't going to pay for Maybelline's 8+ rug rats, there
would be enough to educate Marva's 2 - she's working and paying taxes so I
don't have a problem with helping her out some. Although I would question
why, with birth control readily available, anyone who is only making
minimum wage would have two children. One maybe..but not more.
I will admit I'm a real hard ass about this. Few things make me madder
than some news story about this poor homeless, pregnant woman with 5 kids
who needs 'help'...if she's homeless with 5 kids, she should have kept her
knees together. I have absolutely no pity, and I certainly don't want my
money going to pay for her mistakes.
I'm not against education, although I think the current system is rotten to
the core, and much better education for all children could be had at a much
lower price if the bloat of the bureaucracy was eliminated and real
educators put in charge.
You may be right though about education being the only way to break the
cycle. So I'll ask the government if they'll only use my tax dollars to
pay for birth control classes. What? It's illegal? My, my!!
