@ vegaslee...
"It is NOT the children's fault that their parents are not responsible people."
Well, that's true, sure...
but the VAST MAJORITY of parents that need assistance for their children are NOT 'irresponsible'.
Take the Walmart employee, for example...
"Wal-Mart's poverty wages force employees to rely on $2.66 billion in government help every year, or about $420,000 per store. In state after state, Wal-Mart employees are the top recipients of Medicaid. As many as 80 percent of workers in Wal-Mart stores use food stamps."
Are the thousands upon thousands of Walmart employees 'irresponsible' parents?
