The ethics of citizenship

Scream at the Mother all you wish. She's going to have to find a job that will cover the cost of day care on top of bringing in enough money to support 4 people. Her job has flown off to China and where's the father in all this? How come no one is screaming at him? Meanwhile, that woman's little children are going without proper nutrition or medical care, and your response is just "too bad?"

As for your father in law, that's merely anecdotal evidence. How old was he? What was his disability and are you sure he's recieving SSDI?
