[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't worry- I get it. I don't agree with it. I have a child who is eligible for the benefit. Just give me what the government would have paid for him. It is simple and can be done- it is just the stupid belief that the DC government can do a better job of raising my kid than I can. [/quote]

I drive very little. Yet I pay taxes for roads. I'd like most of that money back, please, thank you. I have other things I'd like to spend it on.[/quote]

Yet you do use roads even though you don't drive- right? Or do you stay inside your house and have nothing delivered to your house using roads? Not the same argument at all.[/quote]

Do you plan on existing on your own little estate, growing and mining all by yourself every bit of food and fiber and wood and metal? Because in that way the road analogy is similar. Which is to say: you and your children will have to be out in the world interacting with and reliant on kids and people from all economic levels, and the boats of the poor have been absolutely anchored to the muck for the last few years while the yachts of the wealthy sail higher and higher. Let some benefits - like a decent education - accrue to the poorest among us and reap the benefits of a better world.[/quote]
