[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, I see the OP’s point.  Why incentivize welfare?
OP - I think the person to whom you were speaking needs a bit of an education herself.  From what I have read, white people get more in terms of aid than blacks.  [/quote]

OP here Exactly. and when I tried to mention that point to her, she came up with all these stats. I understand statistics, but that still does not change how I feel toward the subject. My parents were never rich, but they always told me they wanted more for me than what they ever had, education wise and beyond. They did it not because they got a state / govt check, but because they wanted the best for me, as most parents want for their children. So WHY in Hell's name am I going to pay a person to "care" and "invest" in their own child? Either you have the drive or you don't. No matter what your socioeconomic status may be. [/quote]

Not that I am endorsing the idea proposed in the OP.  But the reason you do is not out of fairness of the disinterested parent, but for the sake of the child who has potential and is stuck in a bad situation that is not of their making.[/quote]

but you have some individuals who have had the world handed to them, and also had many resources and opportunities in life and still turn out not to be shit. [/quote]
