The question should be...Why did the system allow her to have 6 kids she can not support in the first place? There is nothing we can do about her situation at this point but continue to support her sorry ass. It damn sure should be used as an example of what needs to change in the future.

Would you prefer a system that stops her from having 6 kids? How is that freedom?

I would like a system that quits taking my hard earned money that I work for and giving it to those with the freedom to have 6 kids, where is my freedom in keeping my own money?

Once you pay taxes, it's not yours anymore.

bull****. I give those clowns stewardship over it (not voluntarily, but nevermind). They don't get to do as they see fit. They are accountable to me, dammit.

My problem is there are people like you who think the government is better with MY money than I am.

You don't want to pay taxes. Thus, stop using any service that taxes pay for.

You think you could spend your money better, then fine. Build your own roads and only drive on them.

Of course. Also, let's go ahead and keep you from using anything your taxpayer dollars go to subsidize. Like gas. Or retail stores.

Who would've guessed that YOU missed the entire point and went above and beyond to cherry pick your way around it. This is about food stamps, I don't like MY hard earned tax dollars going to feed the leeches for their entire life either. The system needs to be revamped. Stop missing the point.

Mmm. This is one of those times where people need to learn lessons the hard way. Here's to hoping you lose your job and are unable to find another, thus causing you to be on food stamps.

How compassionate.

Funny, it tends to be the Christians who want to kick everyone off food stamps and allow them to starve, yet the agnostics and atheists would like to keep social safety nets in place.

Ironic, no?

When did you decide I was a Christian? You just can't help yourself, can you?

You can't seem to think in terms of anything but absolutes. I don't want anyone to go hungry, and would gladly help those in need. Having said that, generational dependence is a problem, and if you can't see that, then you are being willfully obtuse.

I'm working, have been since I was 15. If I lose my job and can't find another right off the bat, that's a different story. But only, ONLY if it's temporary. Again, you missed the point of not wanting to support them for their ENTIRE LIFE. Temporarily is fine, but lifelong is not. However, the company I work for will have to shut down before I lose my job because my B-I-L is the owner, and we deal specifically in inmate telephone systems, so I don't see that happening anytime soon. But, yeah, you can always hope. Thanks for your kindness.

Allow them to starve? No, force them to work. Give them temporary help, not an issue. Giving them life long help is the problem. If they need it, that's a different story. For a supposedly educated man, you sure are quick to judge. I wish they could teach common sense in school for people like you. Education just won't cut it everytime.

And the people we elect ARE up for us to decide.

Try to remember who works for whom in this relationship, Drew.

It seems you stopped reading after that first sentence.

So, you bowed down and did as you were told like a good citizen during the Bush years, yes?
