    republicans will never get much of the black vote…party of racism, white supremacy, and cooning

    in order to court the black vote, they’d have to dial down the racism and start viewing black people as human and equal…but if they did that, they’d lose a huge portion of their sh*tty, racist, deplorable, low IQ base

    What if the kids are born from rape? What if they are escaping domestic violence or abuser? What if the man turned into a womanizer and cheater? I'm trying to understand your point. Millions of people do have sex before marriage. Many men do use, abuse, and take advantage of women. Promise them the world and then leave when responsibility is too much. Do you believe in banning contraceptives and birth control too? Rapes happen practically every minute of the day. Not all women have a family with money or means to support them.

    Do you also believe in giving the richest the most tax cuts, tax loopholes, and driving more into poverty who actually work and do their best to survive? There are plenty of married couple living in poverty too. Guess what? They aren't all black single moms. That might surprise you. There are plenty of married couples who can't afford healthcare. Cut everyone off from government aid, or just the ones you like better? Keep voting no to price gouging, and let everyone suffer?

    My point is to not have children outside of marriage. You can get the pill. You can get an IUD. You can get the shot or the implant.
    Yes, they do. Millions of people eat too much or exercise too little. Millions of people buy lottery tickets. Millions of people gamble at casinos. Millions of people speed. Millions of people drive while intoxicated. Millions of people use meth, heroin, fentanyl, cocaine. We don't subsidize those poor choices (or at least we should not, some jurisdictions are more enabling). People live with the consequences of their decisions all the time.
    People lie? You don't say. If only there were some sort of contract you could obligate people to.
    No (though those are the same thing). In fact, I would encourage more use of both long-term birth control or sterilization. People who can't afford kids should not get pregnant.
    I think you are drastically overestimating what percentage of pregnancies are the result of rape.
    That's why they should be taking precautions.
    I believe in the near total elimination of taxation, especially at the federal level.
    I don't drive anyone into poverty. People end up in poverty of their own volition most of the time.
    Far lower rates than single parents. If you follow the success formula (graduate high school, have a full-time job, don't get married before 25, don't have kids before marriage) there is a 98% or so chance that you won't be in poverty.
    Why would that surprise me? Single motherhood is epidemic in America. It isn't just in the black community (though that is the community with the highest single motherhood rate). I don't want to incentivize it for any race.
    The number one way to get private health insurance is to have a full-time job. I pay $160 per month for health insurance through my job.
    Why would I only cut off the people I like better? No, get rid of government aid. At most, have a bare minimum safety net at the state level that provides enough basic food to survive to those unable to work. No federal assistance programs whatsoever.
    The government should have no input on voluntary transactions.[/quote][/quote]

    Your ideal government doesn't exist anywhere in the world. Poverty is real everywhere. People are unemployed everywhere. It's not just drug addicts, gambling addicts, or people who take risks that end up in poverty. But, being an addict is a sickness that many can't shake on their own. Addicts exist everywhere in the world. Nobody chooses to be an addict. It often happens after being subscribed addictive drugs for severe pain. That pain often comes from work injuries, or severe health problems.

    Men leave their wives/significant others and children everywhere, married or not. Not everyone can afford contraceptives, and some people want to ban them. Children are born from rape, often to teens. Spouses die or get sick, leaving families struggling to survive. Millions work for wages that still keep them near poverty. Many work 60 hours a week and still struggle.

    Some get too sick to work. My brother retired a couple years early because he became ill. He kept getting nosebleeds real bad and it was too hard on him having that happen doing hard work. He went to doctors. They couldn't find anything wrong. Guess what? He wasn't diagnosed for cancer until after he left his job. It want Even 3 months later. If only a doctor had diagnosed him properly he wouldn't be paying 2,000 a month for healthcare just so he can get cancer treatment. Luckily he has a savings to dip into, but it's still disgusting that anyone has to pay that much for healthcare. People shouldn't have to pay that kind of money and spend their retirement money to survive when they've worked 50 to 60 hrs a week almost their entire life. And no, he doesn't qualify for government assistance, because he made too much the year he quit.

    Not everyone has it easy like you, only paying $160 a month. Many are too mentally ill or challenged to get a job that pays a living wage, or to actually be able to keep it. I guarantee there are people working as hard as you who struggle to survive, and can't afford healthcare. Yet, many businesses, farms, factories, etc.. wouldn't survive without those workers. Millions can't afford healthcare in this country. The price of pharmaceutical drugs are price gouged beyond belief in this country. There are people who can't afford education in all countries without government assistance. They can't all afford to be lawyers, and not all are even smart enough to go to college. You can't be so naive or heartless to believe that some people aren't born into the privileged life, and some are simply much more disadvantaged.

    Sure, there are lazy asses and scammers who take advantage of the system. Those people exist everywhere. They are rich and poor. The difference is that the rich scammers don't live in poverty.

    You have not an ounce of empathy nor sympathy in your heart at all. I’ll just leave it at that. Rarely have a read something so cold. Gross

    In a black and white world, problems rarely exist so solutions are rarely needed. "Don't have babies out of wedlock", Easy. Just get a pill. Or IUD. Or a shot. See, easy.

    Probably explains why the so-called "libertarian" party never grows to be more than 5-10% of America. And frees the so-called "libertarians" to vote with their true hearts for trump.

    This is not a serious opinion.

    50% of marriages end in divorce, many of which have children. Fathers/mothers lose jobs. Alimony/child support does not get paid. It is very easy to see a married couple having children with the best intentions and then their lives going to complete ****.

    And the political party who is pro-life and anti-contraception also wants to get rid of all social safety nets ... for reasons ... which only makes the above situation worse. And they ... to the bone ... DO ... NOT ... CARE.

    The GOP just voted against the right to contraception. They are leaving it up to the states. They had one doctor testify IUDs and the morning after pill are defacto abortions.

    Cold hearted mentality is both sad and gross. That's for sure. Thank God there are millions of people in the world who aren't so heartless.

    I stopped paying attention after I left the party over 30 years ago, so I haven't heard one way or the other. Have they (libertarians) finally been able to explain why it's never succeeded anywhere, ever, at all in the entire history of ever?

    Candace Owens, known conservative internet historical scholar, weighs in on ... dinosaurs. And conservatives wonder why "college elites" think that they are stupid (ignorant actually but conservatives appear to not know the difference).
