Hey, Johnny, your fathers a "deadbeat" because he can't afford to pay his rent and give your mother 30% of his gross.

So we'll confiscate more taxpayer funds to take care of you.

It is understandable that taxpayers want money spent on welfare benefits to be repaid. Yet it makes little sense to hound low-income fathers, particularly since research shows that in some cases, were it not for child support, the men would still be playing a role in their children’s lives.

Here is the money quote.

I tend to agree. Once the state, via the power of the gun, removes a man from his children’s household, they assume his responsibility to support them.

And if there was cause to separate him from his children, he should be in prison for that cause, whatever it may be.

Our easy divorce system is creating a class of indentured slaves and “virtual” orphans - wards of the state.
