We couldn't possibly have citizens taking personal responsibility for their own actions.

Children being taken into care is one of the most traumatic and damaging times for children.

Anybody who thinks that adding a financial element into this situation is in any way beneficial for the child needs to take personal responsibility for their actions and resign from public life.

Quite amusing how the pseudo-right-wing contributors (I say pseudo because I can't believe that people can be so dumb) seem to believe that having children is a lifestyle choice in the same way as perhaps buying a Porsche or an expensive BBQ range is and that in making that lifestyle choice you obviously research the subject thoroughly and ensure that future financing will not be a problem.

This will mean of course that you won't be reliant on public funding to have nursery care for the first three years of its life and then educate your child for the next 18 years, whilst all the while not rely on public funding to whelp the sprog and then keep it healthy until it can earn its own money.

In fact I sometimes wonder what the pseudo right wing element think we pay our taxes to national and local government for, or avoid them as the case may be ?

I reckon they short-sightedly imagine that tax is some sort of punitive fee from which only others will benefit and that they'd like to see abolished ... until they need it themselves.
The politics of selfishness.
