Ban abortions, then starve the children. If wasn’t already apparent that the Republican Party is evil, this should make things much clearer.
Is it the government’s job to feed us? Who do i call to order my free Wendy’s
Starving children don’t learn. An educated populace is good for the economy. Feeding children benefits you directly in the long-term.
But people like you never think about things past the short-term.
Fix the broken arse country so people can afford food. But until then, don’t feed the rich kids. Your money will go further
Yes, you ghoul, you do have a moral responsibility to help feed starving children in your community. Morality is wild, eh?
That’s arguably the single most fundamental job of the government, yes.
The fucking romans had this figured out god damn.
I disagree 100%. It’s the governments job to provide a safe environment to be individually free to be successful.
And “bread and circuses” what’s a reference to a distracted demos
Food should be a basic right. So, yes. I would argue that it should be the government’s job.
In fact, I would argue that all the basic survival needs should just be provided to us free of charge. Leave money and income and working as such for earning yourself luxuries.
Anything less and you’re just forcing people to work under the threat of starvation and homelessness. And is that right?
…also were talking about literal children here. It’s not like they have a choice exactly.
I would LOVE if we could get to that system.
Everything paid for, you can sit at home all day if you want, but that will be with no luxuries.
You want Netflix and games and hobbies and whatever? Get a job to earn luxury income.
And it wouldn’t even be hard to do. We would simply have to not have fucking BILLIONAIRES. That’s about it.
100% wrong. Anything that can run out can never be a “right”. Freedom of speech can be, freedom from unjust search and seizure can be.
What happens when the money, or the food, or the houses run out?
I’m in the UK. It doesn’t matter that we have an NHS (which I am a huge fan of btw), I have zero hope of being able to use it in anything like a timely manner because it’s falling to bits. Not even healthcare can be a “right”
To feed children? Step back, take a look in the mirror, and ask yourself where you went wrong that you’re talking about taking away food from children’s mouths. You are a monster.
If you also think abortion should be illegal in addition to not feeding them, you aren’t just a monster, you’re an indescribably awful evil.
Who says I’m against free school meals. Just not distributing them in a wasteful way. Tell you what, we have the school meals, but it has one control, you have to apply. That’s it, no means testing. That would reduce the number of meals severed to wealthy children straight away.
In the UK we have a similar thing with heating bills. Old people get a heating allowance if they need it or not. You can’t chose to not have it. Let’s put the same control on there
I can afford £2 a day, happily, but my youngest gets meals regardless. In fact, these meals were a huge problem for lots of schools that were not equipment to feed the first 3 years of school entrants.
Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and ask how you can be happy garisnhig the wages of low I come workers to feed my children?
What is the governments job if it‘s not „preventing children from staeving“?
To put ovide an environment of personal safety and property rights so people can be independently prosperus. I have no issue with a welfare state, but that is not the primary function of government.
What happens when you run out of other peoples money?
It literally is, by the doctrine on parens patriae. It is the duty of the state to act in the best interests of its citizens who unable to pursue those interests themselves, whether it’s because they are incapacitated, or minors. This goes back centuries, to the time of monarchy. Our ancestors resolved the question of “who should care for the orphans?” with the simple answer, “it is the king’s duty.”
It is the government’s job, in its role as sovereign, to feed kids who don’t get enough to eat. And if it’s not, we should just burn it all to the fucking ground, because why else even have a society?
It’s a major failure of a society when people don’t have access to the basics. Basic food, water, shelter, and basic healthcare. America fails quite badly on this.
Wendy’s is luxury food however. If you want it, go earn money and buy it yourself.
You’re arguing against feeding fucking children…
Did you ever stop to think, “are we the baddies?”
Unbelievable.
You want to tax the poor to feed rich peoples children, you absolute monster
You guys will make up ANY ridiculous straw man argument to screw yourself and everyone over won’t you? You just are desperate to make everyone except the 1% stay suffering.
“you guys”?
I swear everyone in this thread is having a hallucination that I’m somebody I’m not. I presume you think I’m sort of some of red that wearing uber conservative?
Do people’s actual opinions matter at all.
Perhaps I should think you’re a communist or something and then accuse you of it?
Bread and Circuses.
You’re an evil ghoul. Evil ghouls get banished, not fed.
You have no idea about me but are happy to say I should be banished? Out of interest, how do you feel about Stalin?
It basically is in a fairly straightforward way.
In the Declaration of the Independence it states thusly:
“that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Since you cannot have Life without food, it would logically follow that it is the government’s job to (secure these rights) food for people. If it does not, then the Declaration of Independence states that we can overthrow the government.
Really no. Are you squinting at the penumbra’s? You have the freedom to pursue the production and ownership of food.
