So children should starve because their parents can't or won't get a job?

I certainly have issues with they way AFDC and similar programs work, but
getting rid of all "welfare" entirely is not right, especially when many of
us benefit from programs with similar ideals (mainly in the form of tax
benefits for individuals and corporations, the bulk of "welfare" spending).

Under the same logic you espouse, we should not have tax credits for having
a child, paying a mortgage, or programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social
Security.
