The trouble is, we don't really care about the children.
We have advertising to pull on the heart strings, "think about the children", and donate to us. "Think about the children", when armed, law breaking bad people are storming your borders.
But, we really don't care.
All of it is lip service.
Just like the green initiative. If we actually cared about the environment, we wouldn't have any cars with a 0-60 time.
We send kids to govern-cement indoctrination camps, where they are programmed to never rise above their social position. They are beaten with books so badly that most will never touch a book again for the rest of their lives. They learn to respect authority and learn how to be bullies.
What a great place. And we all (accept a few brave parents) send our children dutifully to that hell hole.
Poor-ness is a disease. It spreads like a disease. And the cure, although quite effective is dismissed out of hand.
No, what we need is to throw money at the situation! Steal the money from these slightly richer people and throw it on a big bon-fire to keep those poor warm for one night. (if only we would do that, that would be something. Instead, what we do with the money is make sure that those suffering from poor-itis never make it out)
"The poor don't have money for food" is the clarion cry. However, with food stamps and food giveaways, no one should go hungry.
But, we have a lot of parents who are just into escapism. Drugged out on TV, pills, weed, or whatever, they turn whatever money they receive into smoke. And being into escapism, they basically leave their children to feed themselves.
If we really wanted to end hunger, we should end the food stamp program and open up cafeterias everywhere. If you are hungry, walk to your local cafeteria and get the food you need.
This would end hunger, and would cost less than food stamp program. Probably by a lot.
