Default DNC Platform excerpt harms families

I came across an interesting excerpt below in reading the Democratic partys
platform. Things are hard enough for parents trying to pay child support but
the DNC intends to make it even more difficult. If you have trouble making
ends meet with the lifestyle child support payments and consider using a
credit card for those difficult weeks, the DNC wants to stop you from
obtaining a credit card.

Although they start off targeting deadbeats they did not properly hide their
bias against fathers in the next sentance. Parents however beware, the
proposed DNC policy will not only harm those paying child support but those
receiving, since during lean weeks the payor would not have a credit card at
his or her disposal to pay child support.

If you are against this policy let them know how you feel:

Excerpt:

--"Democrats believe in cracking down on deadbeats who abandon their
children. So we must require all fathers who owe child support to pay or go
to work; strengthen child support enforcement, including increasing the
amount of child support that gets paid directly to poor families; and make
it harder for parents who owe child support to get new credit cards.
However, we also recognize that, in addition to dead beat dads there are
dead broke dads. Thus Democrats support helping those men who want to
reconnect with their families and who want to become a positive force in the
lives of their children."

Makes a nice sound bite, but where are the details for helping this
along? Shouldn't there be details included in similar depth to those
for the proverbial "deadbeat" dad?

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that obtaining a credit card is a
*private* transaction between a *private* individual and a *private*
company. Thus, government should have absolutely zero say or influence
in the matter. Taking a government-issued license is one thing.
Interfering in the private transactions between private entities is way
outside their bounds.

children.


And of course this comes from the absolutely unbiased opinion of National
Organization of Women.

So we must require all fathers who owe child support to pay or go
to work;


Yup, all father's have unmarked Swiss bank accounts loaded with millions in
savings! Sure, work.. like that McDonald's job will get you out of debt...

strengthen child support enforcement, including increasing the
amount of child support that gets paid directly to poor families;


I hear this when I read the above.. "Increase CS payments!"

and make it harder for parents who owe child support to get new credit
cards.


As if it's easy to get one if you're an NCP....

However, we also recognize that, in addition to dead beat dads there are
dead broke dads.


I'd love to be at teh DNC and correct them on this one in person...
There are so few actual deadbeats, but boatloads of dead broke Dads!

Thus Democrats support helping those men who want to reconnect with
their families and who want to become a positive force in the lives of
their children."


i.e; "If you don't pay your state ordered extortion, we'll put you in jail!"
