Here’s a story you’ll love: A state senator in Tennessee has come up with a brilliant idea: if a child whose family gets government benefits performs poorly at school, benefits are reduced 20%. Tell that hungry kid that he gets to be more hungry, and that his family knows it’s all his fault. Do we raise taxes of non-dependent families when school performance is poor? Talk about class warfare….and before you go whining about these people being takers, keep in mind that maximum benefits in Tennessee are $168 per month. Want to re-think the idea that this makes them so happy that they wouldn’t think of trying to get a job?
