And what happens to your third child if you lose your job? Or what if you get a paycut? Or what about if one of the parents decides to do a runner and not pay child support? Or what about if one of the parents die? Do we just allow children to go hungry?
Actually let me add this: by your reasoning, if you don’t spend every thing you have (including your time) on someone who’s dying, you therefore would rather see them die than live.
How do I know? Because I have eyes. We’re one of the richest countries in the world at the most technologically developed point of history. You think that 100% of our wealth is required to provide a safety net? Of course not.
I think what auko meant to say is, government can only provide for those children by stealing. but the free market can provide even better care, without stealing…
