No. Just no. Implement policies that make it so that the children's parents can bloody well feed their children properly.
Dont breed them if you cant feed them. Feeding a child is the parent's responsibility.
what if.. what if
parents have a child. the parents work and feel their job is secure..... but by the time the kid is born and then later reaches the age of say 4. the parents lose their job or a parent loses their lives affecting the families income.
lets just pretend its just the lose the job scenario.
are governments to then still refuse to feed the kids. and have the kids on a waiting list to be assessed and eventually when assessed as having parents that cant afford to feed the family. have the kids removed from the home and treated as criminal child abusers.. purely for losing their job
or
the $2 a meal that would have paid for the kids food, could then go towards job searching where the parent can concentrate on trying to better the families life knowing the kids are healthy
oh and before bringing up the whole 'tax payer' crap
no where no time no place will you ever see a government void peoples responsibility to pay taxes. there will never be a tax free country.
so its better that tax money went towards peoples health and not corporations CEO wealth.
id rather see a kid got fed and not some scumbag office worker buy a lambo because he is some pen pushing government employee that does nothing but watch porn on his office computer from 9-5
yep you may say you hate a socialist concept of tax. but your wrong. tax is a thing of all concepts including capitalist.. the thing you probably would hate/do hate if you sat and deeply thought about it. is you hate the capitalist use of the tax funds for corporate benefit not social benefit
or are you on of them type of people that love pepsi more than another human
Still, NO. Your kid is not my problem. If the school wants to discount that poor kids meal by 50%, sure, let the parent apply for the discounted meal.
But what happens when you make the families dependent on the schools for feeding the kid? Now the school has to be open during summer vacation to feed kids? Increased wages and expenses for opening another 25% of the time?
What happens when everyone becomes dependent on the government taking care of them? Why would anyone bother to better themselves, better their job, better their situation...When you can just sit around and collect handouts?
You slowly make everyone a govt dependent, less people enter the workforce, less workers to pay taxes, raise the tax rate to counter the lower number of taxpayers. Eventually it becomes more beneficial to suck off the govt teat than to work. Tax revenue drops to a level insufficient to support all the handout programs. It all collapses, and we go back to where we were 300 years ago, fending for yourself with little to no govt services
