Totally agree with Kristoff article today - " When Liberals Blew It "-

37. The prejudices of ethnic and class privilege are blinding you to how people become impoverished.

How in the world do you know how or why someone decided to have a child? Do they live in a state where birth control and or abortions are nearly impossible to acquire? Are you claiming that people who are not wealthy should be never, ever have sex? Did they have a job at a factory that some trillionaire outsourced to China? Did they get fired because the company they work for does not have sick leave and they or one of their kids got sick? Maybe they were married, had a 2 person income and one of them died in a coal mine roof collapse. Maybe the y developed a mental illness or were a veteran who came home with PTSD. The vast majority of the people I know who are impoverished work very hard, but are entrapped in the cycle one way or another. They did not start out having children they could not afford. More than 70% of people receiving subsidies leave within 2 years.

Your depth of ignorance on the reasons for poverty and why people might have children when they need some assistance is quite astounding on a liberal message board, but the OP displays the same depth of ignorance, as well.
