welfare brings down our society. People with mental/physical disabilities should get help from private non profit organizations funded by private donors. Everyone without a disability has the opportunity to achieve success and overcome whatever initial class they are born into. They may not have equal resources as everyone else to achieve success, but the opportunities are still abundant.

<p>I have no way to rebut arguments concerning the lack of responsibility by parents be they mothers or fathers but I will never concede that children should be required to suffer the consequences of choices made by irresponsible adults.</p>
<p>By the way, you never did answer my questions.</p>
