To feed children? Step back, take a look in the mirror, and ask yourself where you went wrong that you're talking about taking away food from children's mouths. You are a monster.
If you also think abortion should be illegal in addition to not feeding them, you aren't just a monster, you're an indescribably awful evil.
Who says I'm against free school meals. Just not distributing them in a wasteful way. Tell you what, we have the school meals, but it has one control, you have to apply. That's it, no means testing. That would reduce the number of meals severed to wealthy children straight away.
In the UK we have a similar thing with heating bills. Old people get a heating allowance if they need it or not. You can't chose to not have it. Let's put the same control on there
I can afford £2 a day, happily, but my youngest gets meals regardless. In fact, these meals were a huge problem for lots of schools that were not equipment to feed the first 3 years of school entrants.
Why don't you take a look in the mirror and ask how you can be happy garisnhig the wages of low I come workers to feed my children?
You do realize taxes are not the same amount taken from everyone? And if you're poor enough you don't pay anything on taxes. If you're a step above that, you get back everything you paid on taxes at the end of the year. I'm not really sure why you think tax funded lunches would garnish wages from the poor.
I love how everyone stars with "you do realize". Nobody here is interested in conversation.
Yes, I do know that. Is there a cost of living crisis? Do you think higher tax payers are also finding it had to make ends meet?
Should we change the threshold, perhaps, where does that lost revenue come from? We would need to sort that out.
Also, nice strawman about abortion, you have zero idea about my opinions
No, it's not a straw man at all. It's a logical thing to bring up when you are stating that children don't deserve to be fed by taxpayer money. The state forces chosen to exist and then makes it illegal for taxes to pay for their food thereby proving that they don't give a damn about the kids at all.
I don't say that, the needy should be helped, not those who are not needy.
Are government rape gangs forcing women to get pregnant. Jesus, you should vote against that.
You have no idea on my opinions on abortion, a guarantee
