[quote=Anonymous][quote]Innate parental instinct will prevent that child from starving. We may frown upon the means and methods parents go to...panhandle, dig through garbage, theft, prostitution, etc...but nonetheless whether stinking rich or filthy poor parents have done and will do anything and everything for the sake of their children. The question is whether society is willing to go so far as well by surrendering more tax dollars, sponsoring at-risk families, initiating more programs and community organizations to help the disadvantaged, etc...or are we content with the ideology that its every man/woman/child for himself?[/quote]

Remember when I said that no public policy should be based on "don't have intercourse"? No public policy should be based on the assumption that everyone has "innate parental instinct" either. Because a lot of people just fucking don't. Some people suck. And I don't want to live in a world where their kids suffer, even more than they already do, for that. Our government should help feed, shelter, and educate poor children, and by necessity, that means giving their perhaps incompetent, shitty parents access to our money. There is a a lot of other tax money that's being wasted that can be reclaimed if that is the concern. For example, subsidies for oil companies.[/quote]
