How much do you suppose it costs to educate, feed, provide medical, after-school care, daycare, house (and likely jail down the road) Mr. Hatchett's thirty children for 17/18 years? Good question for the tax payers of TN to ask since they are footing the bill...

What chance did the women have with a good lookin’, smooth talkin’ man with big money like this? He probably offered to buy them a slurpee.

“Hey baby! Would you do it for a slurpee?”

“Throw in a burrito and I’ll rock your world.”

Think of it this way:

You are a politician who wants to keep in office, and you want your party to remain in charge. What do you do?

Hmmm. Let’s get people to be totally dependant on me. Think of how to do that.

Fast forward 45 years. Mission accomplished. All these women and all these children could not be housed, clothed, fed, and medically treated if not for the government. Think any of them will ever vote for the other party? No way in hell.

And how many of his kids are going to end up in prison or on welfare themselves?

Let us pray that their “adolescent rebellion” takes the form of rejecting their father and not wanting be anything like him...

Those who play pay.

Tough luck buddy.

If you don’t want to pay the child support, keep it zipped.

People want to blame him but I ask what woman/women are stupid enough to get pregnant over and over by him?

Speaking strictly from my own experience in working for a Tier 1 supplier to the auto industry with a UAW hourly work force, if this guy was employed by us in either a union or non union capacity, he would be allowed claim each and every one of those kids on our company health insurance plan.

When a company such as ours is "self insured", those dependents become very problematic because the company is ultimately responsible for paying for all medical, hospital, drug, dental and vision bills on their behalf in accordance with the company's health care plan.

And under such plans, the guy could conceivably carry them as dependents until the end of the year in which they turn 25. That could be one heck of a lot of medical costs.......
