Re: Should Poor Kids Work for Free Lunches at School?
Um that's awful.
My kids don't get lunch money unless they help around the house and farm. The eldest two have jobs now and pay their own way if they don't want to brown bag.

The other dangerous side effect of "freebies" from the "state" . Is the growing dependence of more and more persons who decide it's easier to vote for more free handouts. Instead of working. Makes more "poor" people. Great job security for social service employes however.
Kids don't have food? How much food would the monthly bills for that smart phone and cable TV purchase?
How many meals will one $30 trip to McDonalds purchase vs a $30 trip to the grocery store?
Going hungry should be motivation to get off your can and work harder AND work smarter.
Kids going hungry? Cure for that is finish high school. And wait until you are at least 21 to be married. And wait until you are married to have children with a man who will stay around. I went to school, studied and worked instead of laying on my back under boys.
Take away the single mothers from the "poverty" class and there is hardly anybody left impoverished.
It's called being a responsible adult to look after YOUR children.
Ticks me off to see how much of my and my husbands paycheques that goes to raise some irresponsible bum's children. Over a grand a week between the two of us gone to government waste.
Your solution is to let children starve??
DH grew up full time on a farm and worked from the time he was big enough do chores. b.t.w. you should have seen the build on that man from years of physical work.He took over and managed the farrow to finish hog operation too while still in public school. His record keeping and innovations in the operation made his parents some of the most successful farmers in the area. He wasn't happy being "poor".
After having to actually work for something. You value and appreciate what you have and don't waste it. Why should we have to give away what we worked for. To irresponsible and lazy people?
If you can't afford children, don't breed. It's just common sense. DH and myself as horny as we were still didn't have sex for months and not until after ensuring contraception.
A lack of planning on your behalf does not constitute an emergency on my behalf.
If there is a free safety net if you are careless and irresponsible. What incentive is there to be responsible? The safety net just lets more people be an irresponsible burden on society.
It isn't society that pays welfare, It's my husband and myself with OVER $1000 per week between us gone to the government. I don't mind paying for roads, hospitals, cops, some military but not to support people who won't take care of themselves.
These are children that are already born. The "breeding" has already been done.
So, you don't mind paying for roads, hospitals, etc, but when it comes to hungry children who didn't ask to be born into the situation they are in, you call bootstraps?

How did you type that with a straight face?
Do yourself a favor and learn about the cycle of poverty.
You know how we do

I certainly hope you aren't going around calling yourself a Christian or something.
