Yeah, I hear you. Poor people should quit having so many kids who exacerbate the problem by following in the footsteps of the parents (or oftentime guardian).
Perfect example was today in our local newspaper here in Charleston, SC where it lists contributors to the "Good Cheer Fund" that is set up around the holidays. Today it profiled "Laura, a single mother, was working at a fast food restaurant for minimum wage but had to quit due to her current pregnancy. The money from her job was already too little to pay the bills, but the loss of that income has put the family in an even worse financial situation. Their water has been turned off due to nonpayment.
They have minimal furniture, and Laura must rely on food banks to help feed her five children".
So let's examine the above .... (1) single mother with 5 kids and (2) now pregnant yet again who (3) likely has a poor education (given she was working at a fast food place). What about some personal responsibility? Why get pregnant if you already have 5 kids and are on various programs?
Is it my responsibility and others to cough up tax dollars to support people who continue to make poor choices? Why didn't she quit having kids after the first one? Or second one? Now she'll have 6 ....
Read the piece I posted above out of our paper today.
Secondly, I've volunteered in schools the past 13 years. I see firsthand what's going on and MANY of them continue to have 4, 5, 6 (or more) kids. And the kids pick up early on how to get stuff for free. Kids in 4th grade have (free) cell phones. I've seen kids post on Facebook and make fun of people who pay for groceries .. as in "hahaha, we get ours free with EBT". And this occurs more than you likely know. Sure, there are plenty of hard working poor people but there are a LOT of lazy people who milk the system for every penny they can and then bitch and moan when they might have something cut.
