>>What, if any, are the political arguments against government-provided 3 square meals a day for kids provided by default?
Just the good old-school conservative mindset - that it shouldn't be the government's responsibility to feed your child. You had a kid, you should make sure they are fed. Why burden the taxpayer with this?
>> I'd gladly pay more taxes even though my children aren't at risk.
A lot of conservatives would have a heart attack at just the thought of paying more taxes, even if it would benefit them or their kids.
Edit: Since this is getting downvoted for some reason - I just want to categorically point out that I'm not supporting this viewpoint. Just explaining it.
- tomrod 4y agoI said this below in another comment, and I legitimately cannot imagine another story here: > People who complain about taxes going to feed children are social darwinists.
- pessimizer 4y agoThe people who complain about taxes going to children aren't particularly embarrassed about that. Coming up with prejudicial synonyms for people's positions doesn't illuminate, it obscures.
- tomrod 4y agoMy concern is not for the sociopaths that advocate for social darwinism, which is clearly defined[0], but for people that may be persuaded to accept such notions due to gullibility or lack of time for introspection.
