The preeminent characteristic of childishness is selfishness.
The preeminent characteristic of naivete is screaming "selfishness" when people have the "unmitigated nerve" to demand that people take responsibility for themselves and their families rather than Uncle Sam doing it. Welfare and other government programs are meant as a safety net, not as cradle-to-grave support. No one has a "right" to be supported by the government their entire lives. If you don't like it, nothing is preventing you and others like you from donating an even larger share of your income to charities of your choosing who will feed the poor. The rest of us demand reasonable limitations if our tax money is behind used to support others.
Selfishness is perpetuating a family line that has no means to support itself and instead, relies on the government (ie, taxpayers) for sustenance while still pumping out more and more kids.
Because civilization requires humans, and a flourishing civilization requires flourishing humans. Therefore when we as a society set a baseline for the care of our fellow beings, it must be a human baseline--mere animal survival is insufficient. Your system would treat the lower class as animals and correlate their oversight to husbandry, where by happenstance a lucky few may cross paths with more benevolent masters. Yours is an appalling vision; thankfully, it is a vision rejected by the majority of Americans.
This is the problem with many of the left-leaning people in our country. Rather than implement reasonable restrictions on people as a condition of receiving a government handout, they seem to want to give these people blank checks to do whatever they want and when someone disagrees, the name calling or other accusations start. The moment anyone mentions capping benefits at X number of kids or restricting food choices, we have the misty-eyed lip biters screaming their usual array of insults. Being poor sucks and is supposed to suck -- if the government paid for everyone to have a middle-class existence, why would any sane person bother working?
There is nothing wrong with establishing a baseline of what food stamps will and won't buy (for example), regardless of your overly-emotional post above. Chucky and a few others in this thread are probably like me -- you go to the grocery store and invariably get stuck behind someone in line whose cart is filled with steaks, Little Debbie snacks, cookies, potato chips, etc, and then they pull out the EBT card to pay. I really HOPE that the EBT card isn't paying for everything but if it is, that really makes me angry. This has happened to me more than once and it pisses me off. How many of the CNN sob stories have we all read where the pictures of people on welfare inevitably show a huge plasma or LCD screen in the background with an Xbox, a stack of games, etc? Those may be rare examples (I REALLY hope they are), but for those of us who put up with crap all day to support our families, it makes us mad.
I really hope you're a young kid who hasn't had a taste of the real world yet. It is easy to say these things when you're in high school, college, or fresh out of college and don't yet have a real job, but once you get a job with a real salary, a house, responsibilities, etc. and see how much of your money is taken in taxes, it hits home hard.
