Comment on Iowa governor says it's 'not sustainable' to give $40 per month to kids from low-income families for food

  Maybe their parents should feed them? Not sure why you think my money should be used to take of others instead of them taking care of themselves. Why do you hate personal responsibility?

    Agreed! I want my tax dollars used to force women to GIVE BIRTH not to FEED Starving Children!

      I think women should be allowed to abort if they want. It’s none of my business.

      Just like children should be fed by their parents. It’s none of my business.

    “Why do people think conservatives hate the poor?”

      You think paying your own way is hating the poor?

        Children aren’t poor. Children have parents that are poor. Children do not have boot straps to pull on to hover about the room. A child’s future prospects depend on their education and nutrition. Children do not have the agency required to save themselves from hunger.

        You are advocating rigging the game against children to keep the poors down. Society benefits from the investment put into its children, so society should for the bill. Its not only the ethical decision, it also pays dividends if you look notes then 4 years ahead.

        I think the government failing to address poverty is a form of hate for the poor.

  Nope. The right response to that is to go beyond intentions to an understanding of the problem.
