Mg, I was one of those children of a poor stupid, undereducated, single mother that took on a stepdad. It probably was not much of a choice for her but she made a good choice. Those idiot mothers you're refering to were smart enough to survive under conditions that would make many well to do parents buckle under & give it up. You also don't subsidize them & molestation happens in the houses of the rich too & it happens just as much. You really have a wonderful view of humanity, where the poor are depraved & the well to do walk around with the rights of man. Don't tell them to take responsiblity, there's no one whom they can take it from & they do perform responsible just by the nature of their survival & by living, that's the point, they are the responsibility of us all but you would have that too taken from them as well as any diginity too. Don't blame them for the crime that happens in their poor neighborhoods either, that's as close to blaming the victim of a rape, they aren't committing any crime by being poor, though some may turn to crime in order to survive. If you want strict rules set them for yourself not for them, they were raised by the rules of survival & the street which were already imposed upon them by others just as you would impose more, why because it's a cost to you, you bare no burden for them except what you bare out of ignorance fosted on you by a government that would prefere that they could sweep them all under a rug while not needed or have them taken care of by some reglious org or some charity. We have police to protect all citizens though you think that they (the poor) recieve better survice? Thanks for caring about their minimum wage but your type of care they absolutly do not want nor need. You think it's just single mothers hat are poor too, get up on it the poor come in all sizes, shapes & colors & with & with out kids. You seeem to have no problems at all with the poor, set them up in a walled off getto, that'll do you for a good nights rest but when you wake they'll still be there poor, uneducated, sick, hungry & tired of your rules, walls & treatment. Wait until they come knocking on your door, will you feed them, cloth them, wash them? Or would you rather see a bit more of your war taxed moneys' go to helping them to escape that life for good & become productive. Because under what you'd prescribe they'll end up finishing out their lives in that same walled up getto.
