"Kevin, your stats mean shit. Most of the children that are "living in poverty" are children of immigrants or people who could not keep their fucking legs shut. Now, show me in the United States Constitution where I am supposed to take care of leeches and the mistakes of ignorant, lazy people. You try to act like everyone who is "below poverty" is the average hard working Joe Six-Pack who has fallen on hard times when in fact the exact opposite is true."

Even if we asssume the parents are at fault for their own situation, why the hell should the children suffer for it?
Furthermore, why do you believe that everyone who lives at poverty level neccesarily is poor because they are lazy/ignorant? Do you have some sources to back this up?

I would really hate for you to be misinformed, by my mouth is not fat. My opinions are for the most partcorrect and based on the reality that you, I and everyone else has to live in. I am sorry that you let your right-side take over when you have to deal with facts and figures. Facts and figures don’t have emotion behind them, Kevin. They are just the cold hard reality you seem to want to ignore.

"But I was raised to have the brains to know that something so big to give you everything you need is also big enough to take it all away. That is what you want the government to be. The government is not a god, Kevin. Learn to deal with that."

Kev never claimed that he wanted the government to give him "everything he needs". Your problem is that you see things in black and white, you assume that Kevin wants a government which is completely socialistic, when perhaps he only wants a government that is slightly more liberal than it is now.

"You are economically stupid, Kevin. You want income redistribution."
Point out where Kevin said that too.

"You are one of the easily led morons that only vote against anything a Republican puts up because you do not like Bush. Why should I have my money FORCEFULLY taken away from me to pay for someone else’s mistakes or misfortunes."
Why should I have mine forcefully taken from me to fund a war I didn't want or believe in?

"Is it my responsibility as an American citizen to take care of them? NO. Is it the responsibility of the people that created them to take care of them? YES."

Therefore, if we have a child that is being abused, the government should not intervene and take it out of an abusive situation?

"My opinions are for the most part correct and based on the reality that you, I and everyone else has to live in. I am sorry that you let your right-side take over when you have to deal with facts and figures. "

You have yet to put up facts and figures supporting your arguement.
