Yet when you impose "help" by threat of punishment (taking benefits, subsidies, etc away) you have a direct, adverse affect on those same children.

So, you're assumption is that these people are incapable of earning a decent wage on their own through cognitive or physical limitations?

The system is built to be a poverty trap. It's a widely accepted social term. The solution to poverty isn't through entitlements, which creates the trap. It's through investment that creates employment.

If that cannot be understood first, the conversation cannot take place.

And this is exactly the point in the conversation that will never allow this problem to be solved.

Tell us about all of the good we are doing to the children under the present system.

And then act like if the government didn't subsidize their irresponsible behavior and unhealthy lifestyles then they and their children would all starve to death and have to live on the street or under the bridge because that's what 100 years of indoctrination of statism has done to the people of this country. No one can imagine a solution without it going through the government. That's the mental disorder most people have.
