Didn't the Bush Administration just introduce the "Family Penalty"..? |

with their Hurricane Katrina 'debit cards'?
My pet peeve is treating children as if they are worth less as human beings than adults. And here's an administration that was always lambasting the 'Marriage Penalty' -- more taxes if you are married than if you are single.
So when they introduced the $2000 per family 'debit cards' (now checking accounts), I ask, why is a child WORTH NOTHING??!! Why is the GOP anti-family? Why is the GOP anti-child? For that matter, Why is the GOP anti-marriage?
What's the great fear in handing out $2000 per victim regardless of age? Are they afraid that some black family with 6 kids might actually have a shot at rebuilding a life? Conversely, do orphaned children get nothing?
We DUers will ALL be surprised if the $2000 DOESN'T turn out to be a total GOP scam, handed out by the bucketful to their buddies, through untraceable means. But even on its face, this approach is wrong.

keep the poor suffering,lest the poor get the means and the knowledge to make a better world than the ruling thugs do ,and challenge their empire with the threat of true equality,real happiness and ,fairness.. How can you be a dirty little sociopath and get away with abuse of power and conquer it all if people who are morally better than you and know what you are and take steps to take away your"freedom" to abuse and manipulate steal and bully,and dominate other people and make"willing victims" of them? How can an empire stand if there is a healthy human community existing to compare tow ways of life..the good people will choose to have freedom relationships and love over a hierarchical empire and a life of obeyance and victimization every time.
