and that you have no moral responsibility to that child in your community other than to pay taxes: what utter foolishness.

For you it is all or none. All of one's charitable contributions must go to children or they are wrong. Not everyone is so narrow in their view of charity. People can give to more than one charity. To believe that everyone must give every penny for charities which involve children only is heartless.

If they came up with a charity to teach people that they should not have kids uncontrollably and expect the rest of the world to pick up the check, that would be a good charity.

No where did I post that all one's money should go to poor kids.

No where!

You are arguing against someone else on some other forum. I believe in voluntary charity toward those who need it. Kids with idiot/incompetent/unproductive parents are about the most deserving of help as anyone is. "Rescuing" dogs and cats is hard to justify as long as one kid in town needs to be rescued.
