The state should neither be in the business of taking my money (to fund welfare) NOR taking people's kids away. So we're into an infinite loop here: every time you respond, "Ah, but then the government will..." I will answer, "The government shouldn't be doing that either."
figure out just how much more taxpayer money will go to paying the foster care.
The government shouldn't be funding foster care.
The government should keep their noses out of everybody's wallets and personal lives.
The Federal Government pays state Social Service agencies for not only every child they place in foster care, but also for every child that is placed in adoption.
I don't even want to ask why....
