The flaw in your logic is that these welfare systems are paid for with money extorted from the working public through mandatory taxation. In effect, we are forced to pay for damaged goods. I would love to send my kids to private school, but due to the money taken from my family at gunpoint, I cannot afford to. If I was not taxed to pay for this corrupt system, I could easily send my kids to a private school, which I would prefer.

So, if your kids were hungry and you couldn't afford to buy them groceries at the store, you wouldn't try to grow some of their food at home? You would immediately decide to go on welfare?

Let's put it this way - since you can't afford to send your kids to private schools (I can't afford to either) would you think it right for you to go around to all of your neighbors and demand at gunpoint that they pay you enough to send them? Then why is it OK to let the county or state government do the very same thing for you?

Like I said, I can't afford to send my kids to private schools. My wife and I have had to make many sacrifices so that she does not have to work most of the time so that she can school our children at home. And that is the key - what are you and your wife and your kids willing to sacrifice in order to get off of welfare?

I agree with you in theory. We should not have to pay for these prisons for our children. But, I disagree with you about having to use these prisons for our own children.

The answer is homeschool. I know it can be really scary to think about... but please do so. If I can help you get any info for you or your wife on homeschooling, please freep mail me. Just remember there is always an answer, you may have to work for it however. Good luck!
