“I suppose an ‘enlightened’ reaction would be simply to pay her $1400 a month to take care of her children, thus saving the taxpayers $2200 a month.”
The current system promotes idiocracy. I guaran-damn-tee you that woman has at best an average IQ and her studs a better physique than brain. Meanwhile, hard-working people who refuse to put their kids and family on AFDC simply don’t have them. I know you were funnin’, but to me, an enlightened reaction would be to stop paying her altogether. Then the taxpayers who were ponying up that $2200 a month could afford to have and feed their own kids.
That was what I said in the same paragraph that you chopped the sentence out of. :)
