In another post you mentioned "Universal Pre-Kindergarden Day Care".
This would, of course, require

It's all in the votes bought at the expense of the
'soon-to-be-minority' of the population that pays
any taxes.

We used to call them "babysitters" and we paid for them ourselves
because we had to work.
Hell, now people use school as babysitters all of the time! I've seen
people get mad as hell around here because school was out for parent-
teacher conference day, or a furlough day, etc.
When both parents in a household have to work, days schools are closed
create havoc. And imagine the havoc it creates in a single parent
household where the mom has a ****ty job at Wal-Mart, eh?
Erections have consequences.
I know you are just being humorous, but right-wing politicians and a
couple of the right-wing "Bircher/TeaBaggers" here, such as Herring and
Bert Robbins, make sort of similar implications, sometime with what they
think is subtle language, but what they really mean is perfectly clear, e.g.
"Why should they have a child, they're poor...
"She can have her breast cancer treated at the ER...
"Why does a poor family need a car, a television set, a phone, decent
housing in a safe neighborhoor? After all, they're poor...
"Let's continue to defund or underfund public school and shift the funds
to church-related charter schools. Who does it hurt? Just poor families...
"Those poor people have a lot of nerve wanting help with putting food on
the table."
And it doesn't matter if the "poor" family has working members or
not...the hatred for them is there.
