you didn't mention homeless people and that was exactly my point.
and i did address your main point specifically. you stated
i fully addressed that. the problem with a $29/week SNAP card has nothing to do with rewarding people for having children. you seem to think $29 is a reward and getting $29 week off da man is some special family trait passed on like a gene. it ain't. that's the point of the challenge paltrow failed on. which you also missed.

The idea of getting $29 a week in food stamps might not be a generational trait, but living on the system is. It is called the cycle of poverty for a reason. Not everyone ends up in it and some people are even motivated to work hard by growing up poor, but there are a lot of people who are raised with the idea that living off the system and living as their parents do (meaning welfare, food stamps, housing assistance etc) is a fine and normal activity. They are much more likely to repeat that behavior than someone who was raised in a typical middle class life and taught to work for what you want.
