in your perfect world, what happens when parents can’t feed their kids (Due to job loss or something similar)? Take them away and make the gov pay a bigger fee lol?

You're not entirely wrong, but you're quite misguided. Personal accountability has to matter, but a society that lets its children starve isn't a society worth preservation.

I'm saying this as one of those people who would vote Republican if they had opted for Mitt Romney back in the day.

Kids deserve to be fed. There's no condition to that, ever. If a kid is going hungry and I have a way to fix that I'll do it. Do I think government is the right way, or even one that's effective? They're clearly not. But if it'll feed those kids one more day I'll gladly devote our entire war budget to do it, and I'd even eat a tax increase as long as I know that's where it's going.

Kids shouldn't suffer for their parent's behavior or circumstances. To say otherwise is heartless and cruel.

Ok, so we just leave the kids with parents unable/unwilling to work to starve?

Sweet summer child, no.

I agree with you, but if I have a problem with handouts and welfare I'm not going to start with feeding kids. We've got much bigger fish to fry. Like subsidized industries.

Yeah, fuck kids! I'd rather my tax dollars go to bailing out Elon Musk and other Billionaires while kids starve!

Free School lunches were first offered to ensure a healthy young adult population fit for the military

If 1st world govements and their rich friends in large corporations haven't been spending the last 100 years destroying the average person's ability to be independent human beings then you might have a point.

I mean, you wouldn't, but let's not get into that right now.

ideally, but unfortunately there are kids out there who wouldnt get enough food otherwise. theyre kids, we need to look out for their wellbeing

Yeah, and if your parents are dead, disabled, or impoverished then you should just fucking starve to death instead of being a whining entitled leech!

Your solution?

Parents are also responsible for paying the government to exist (see taxes). It would sure be nice if the government did something with all those parents' tax dollars that benefitted the parent's and their children.

This isn't fucking socialism, it's 'getting your moneys worth' and is totally fair.

How many kids do you have?

Maybe the government should be responsible for feeding the parents. How do you like those apples Mr. Bootstraps?

At least the idiots out themselves. Marking your user note as republicunt

Yeah, we don't have enough dead kids. We definitely need more.
