It’s called the vote box.
Unless you have a proposal to help ensure wayward children, without abandoning them, to which I am all ears, I can only conclude that you want the government out of your life and, if it results in the death of people to do it, so be it.
Which is as I said, predatory.
As I said, I’m all for minimal government, but we must be prepared to care for the uncared for as well.
It’s the job of the church to care for the poor, and any individual can step up any time to help someone they see in need.
There have been wayward children through out human history. Life is not all rainbows and ponies for everybody, but it is NOT the government’s job or responsibility to take that on and rob other people to do it. It worsens the problems.
Help the people out yourself. That will do more to fix the problem than just giving handouts and creating entitlement mentality. You do not understand what a motivating factor having to be on your own can be to take care of your own.
Parents get this mentality because they are told that if they won’t/don’t do it, someone else will step up to the plate for them. They are bailed out and it worsens the problem.
There’s nothing wrong with overcoming adversity.
The government in the life of people results in death too.
Every month there is a new story about a no knock raid killing some innocent homeowner, or a lawful concealed carrier being shot dead in a parking lot by the cops. And the cops lie about it and try to cover it up. The cops are the ones with guns but I’ve seen corruption and lies in all areas of government and no way to hold them accountable.
I don’t know about anyone else, but if it’s too soon to shoot the bastards, then my answer is to keep the government as far from my life and family as possible.
If I ever got word that Social Services was interested in me and my kid, we’d be three states away by morning. Not because my husband and I are guilty but because I do not and cannot trust the government.
THAT'S the short leash????
And how's that working out these days?
You are naive to the point of delusion if you think that's all it takes.
