    Who the hell are you to judge what they can or should be doing? They might not have the means, time, or health to do more. Get out of here with that high horse.

      My bad for believing that you should pay forward what society has already done for you. I don’t care that you didn’t intend on having children. People have given far more that you benefited from as a child and the bare minimum is that you do the same.

      No matter what you believe, you have benefited from policy and programs funded by taxpayers who may or may not have had any intention of benefiting you specifically.

        And they just gave you ways they have given back. Get off your high horse and maybe you would see that. You don’t know that person’s spot in life. They might be doing the best they can. You’re speaking from a point of privilege to demand more.

          The ways they give back are all standard expected behavior in a functioning society. Pay your taxes and vote.
