But, let me ask you, do you think that people CHOOSE to be born into impoverished families? Do you think people CHOOSE to be disadvantaged from the get go?
Nope. I certainly didn't choose to be born impoverished and disadvantaged, but I was, nonetheless. I am not anymore. You can't choose where you start, but you can choose where you end up.


When you make a rule dictating that only people of certain financial means can have kids, you are inadvertantly excluding a vast number of racial minorities.
I can't make a rule dictating anything, neither can you, neither can anyone. Everyone is free to have as many kids as they want to, last time I checked. I just don't want to pay to raise other people's kids, I'm busy raising my own.


That means sometimes we have to carry the weight of others so that we can all have a higher standard of living. Why is that a problem for so many people?
Well, it certainly is a problem for me!! I do well to carry the weight of myself and my own child, I can't carry other people's as well. I don't mind helping someone out through a temporary bad time. We all have those. I DO have a problem paying my hard-earned money out in taxes to support someone their whole life, when they don't get up and get a job and make an effort. I certainly know I'm not alone in those feelings, either.

...people are so focused on their lives that they can't see the BIG PICTURE.
Oh, I do see the big picture, believe me. I guess you and I just see very different views of the "big picture." Such is life. I doubt either one of us is going to change the other's mind.
