Not sure if they do it deliberately, but there’s like this sorta expectation to sympathize with parents who despite being poor still have children. Didn’t they make a CHOICE though? Do you think they should be solely responsible for making it?

    We don’t live in socialism, correct. I have no idea what that has to do with whether or not it’s correct to uplift the poor and focus on what’s good for everyone. Even selfishly, it makes sense to support poor families because it lowers crime and improves the economy overall. There is no reason to neglect the vulnerable and in need except cruelty and ignorance of economics.
