You clearly don't think much of poor people, especially poor women with children.
Maybe you don't actually share much in common politically with DUers.
Most of us think those in poverty and in need should get more assistance.
Most of us think that those on Food Stamps are already under such duress that, even when they don't make the best choices, our reaction is not in judgment but in sympathy and empathy. Being poor sucks, it's hard, you lack basics, often transportation and time and are tired/hungry often. Most of us have sympathy for the poor and for immigrants.
I honestly think you would get into less arguments and would have more in common if you went over and joined that site that begins with F.R.
There, you will get a lot of support for your posts that say that poor people waste their food stamp resources, or that we have to crack down harder on those who get assistance for fear they'll misuse it.
There you will get more support for your messages about child support being the means where vindictive ex-spouses can live in luxury, leaving their paying ex-husbands in unfair poverty.
Because you seem to find a common theme of disgust with those who live in poverty, who get child support, for immigrants and because DUers are almost universally sympathetic to all the above, you are going to get into endless arguments because you simply look at the world differently than most of us do.
So you might consider that there are places where your ideas will be appreciated. A site full of liberals and Democrats is turning out not to be one of those places. Look at this thread and all the others and you'll see that it's true.
