I agree with you up to a point. Of course, healthy, well adjusted responsible
people should ultimately set the social tone. But, too often, that tone becomes
dismissive or discriminatory against the poor or less fortunate. If poor people
expect society to step in and help them raise their kids, they must be prepared
to be scrutinized and even punished for refusing to do everything they can to
improve their lot or prevent it in the first place. That should be the price of
public assistance.
