Lt. Governor Andre Bauer has made a lot of people – especially South Carolina residents – very angry by implying that the impoverished populations are like stray animals: not to be fed.
Okay, so while he didn’t say the words ‘Don’t feed the poor because they will breed if you do’, he certainly made it pretty clear that he was comparing the poor to straight animals.
The reason I put up this particular rant on the subject is because I agree with The Young Turks. Sure, not all parents are heroes, but why punish children for what parents are or aren’t doing.
You can hold parents accountable (maybe they do work two jobs or can’t afford a babysitter – or a car) without taking away the basic provisions for children.
