- Not a whole lot to say on this one.
"A Tennessee man's problems paying child support aren't so surprising: He has 30 children with 11 different women.
Desmond Hatchett, 33, of Knoxville, is pleading with the state to help him pay for child support, citing the fact that he earns minimum wage. Hatchett made national news in 2009, when his tally stood at 21 children.
“I had four kids in the same year," he said. "Twice.”
The mothers of his children are supposed to get anywhere from $25 a month to $309 a month for help raising the children. The state takes half of Hatchett's paycheck to divide among the mothers of his children, but now Hatchett has petitioned the state to help him meet his obligations.
The children range in age from toddlers to 14 years old."
Mr. Hatchett has been quite busy for the last fourteen years. Too busy, it seems, to seek an education or to find a job that pays better than minimum wage. Even a trip to the local drugstore seems to have been beyond his reach.
As long as the State provides public assistance without question, we will have people like Mr. Hatchett and the 11 women who had children with him. That's correct, you will be paying for the financial support for Mr. Hatchett's kids and he, other than a sub-nominal obligation that he can't even meet, will not.
Note also that, unless we take much-needed action on the restoration of voter requirements, such as proof of income/property tax payments, military service, or living without receiving any governmental assistance, not only will Mr. Hatchett and his children's Moms get to exercise the power of the vote, so will his 30 (And presumably more on the way) children, who will have been raised to expect the taxpayers to fund their life.
By my count, we are currently looking at 42 votes to my one.
36% of the American people sympathize with Socialism; how long do we have until we reach the magic 51% tipping point?
The US is a Constitutionally Republic. If the Leftists really, as they claim, want Democracy, then maybe we should consider some changes. Let's start with the Athenian version, minus the institution of Slavery. This State had very strict voter and citizenship requirements and, although it would be ungainly, would work for the US far better than does our current system. (Below)
