Good analysis.
The government is no more obligated to pay (or in fact obligated to pay by regulation that requires a private party to pay) for one particular lifestyle more than any other.
Grandmothers like to knit. Doesn’t in any way oblige the government to support them.
If you call for the government to subsidize or regulate behavior, then you are calling for the government to CONTROL behavior!!
RE: Grandmothers like to knit. Doesn’t in any way oblige the government to support them.
Hey, children need shoes don’t they? Poor people need shoes don’t they?
Which is more important for a person, to have shoes or to have contraceptives?
If kids don’t wear shoes, parasites can invade the body through the feet.
Shoes keep feet warm during the winter preventing people from freezing.
And shoes can be expensive too.
So, let’s have a tax payer supported program that pays for SHOES. How about that?
And since it is my idea, I volunteer to be the Secretary of the Department of Footwear (DOF).
And if people disagree with this, I’ll tell them it’s FOR THE CHILDREN. Don’t you care about children you cruel scrooge?
