[QUOTE="Archaeopteryx, post: 54435347, member: 194332"] Actually, the desired end of Socialism is not to take from the most to give to the few, but rather, to take from all and to give to all. How do you know that children in these programs have low potential for success when you advocate taking away the opportunity for any potential to become realized? Not necessarily. How many of the world's most renowned thinkers didn't have the most hospitable of home environments and yet they still had potential? And what if the parent has a legitimate reason for asking the Government for assistance? Such as being unable to provide for his child because his business was destroyed in a natural diaster that was not of his making? As I said above, what if that failure to provide is not the result of willful and deliberate negligence or laziness but rather an incapacity to do so due to extraneous circumstances that bring to bear on the situation? Why punish someone who wants to provide for his family, but can't, equally with someone who doesn't want to provide for his family, but can??? If someone protests a war that they believe is unjust then they have the right to do that without fear of being prosecuted as a traitor. By your venomous logic, if the US launched a war against Israel or Christianity, you would have to shut up, or otherwise risk facing a military tribunal under the charge of treason for simply disagreeing with the government's policy (aka. aiding the enemy). I really wish you'd more thoroughly consider the final logical destination of your claims. Argumentum ad absurdum. [/QUOTE]
