The Poor Children
Oh dear. "New" research claims that
Far too many kids are fat by preschool, and Hispanic youngsters are most at risk
Oh no, whatever shall we do? I know, let's give them money! Yes, let's take even MORE money from those who are productive and work! Since these new poor, fat people will more money to pay for their medical bills, let's take money from those who are NOT in the hospital due to poor decisions and steal their money to pay for the lazy people who are not working due to their own decisions! Gee, I wonder how many millions of dollars of taxpayer money was wasted on this research to come up with such brilliant conclusions:
Children were particularly at risk if their mothers were obese. one of the most common causes of overweight in children is overfeeding
I'm shocked! Did you ever imagine that fat people have fat kids? And who would have thought that eating too much would make you fat? I just can't believe that can be true. We need more million-dollar research to find out if this is really true because I just don't buy it. Overeating makes you fat? No, it just cannot be. And I know the bleeding-heart liberals will be all over this one (it's custom-made for them). Go ahead and tell me how it's not the children's fault and that the children didn't make the bad decisions. Know what? It doesn't matter. If you claim that it's not the children's fault and therefore government has to take care of it, you honestly dislike freedom. You are saying that we should punish those who make good healthy decisions to support those who make poor decisions. And again, it doesn't matter that the parents made the decisions -- you see, if people were held responsible for their actions, the parents would be the ones saddled with the medical bills, not the responsible people. It may be a harsh lesson, but it's fair. Government is not capable of being "compassionate." If people make bad decisions, they should be held responsible. If they make bad decisions that affect other people, they should still be held responsible. People who make good healthy decisions should not be required to pay for the bad decisions of others -- it doesn't matter if there's children involved. So what will happen to the "poor children" if government gets out of the way and people are held responsible for their own actions? The same thing that happened to them for hundreds of years before the liberal US government got in the way -- actual people would be compassionate and would give their own money of their own will to help people -- and there'd be more money for help and more people being helped than the government could ever dream of. Freedom works every time it's tried. Oh how I yearn for freedom.

Laziness and irresponsibility rule the country today.
