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: http://www.democrats.org/contact/. 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? -- Always borrow money from a pessimist, he doesn't expect to be paid back. ~Author Unknown |

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. -- Always borrow money from a pessimist, he doesn't expect to be paid back. ~Author Unknown |

There are so few actual deadbeats, but boatloads of dead broke Dads!
