You recognized, certainly, that it costs $10K to execute the adoption of a child, and that the fee doesn't cover one diaper, one stitch of clothing, right?
I meant it costs about $10K a year to adopt a kid you find on the street. There are homeless kids.
I can promise you it costs way, way more than $180K to raise a child from birth.
THe whole point is that while the average American isn't as rich as Jeff Bezos, that doesn't mean by default Jeff BEzos deserves inherently better healthcare and more options than everyone else, while you die because you can't afford another day in a hospital. I don't understand how you can't see this difference, either.
Why not? He earned it. That's what happens when you produce a company that benefits the entire planet. Just like he deserves a mansion and I don't. He deserves 5 star food if he's willing to pay for it and I don't if I am not willing to pay for it. Wealth privilege is a thing, and it's based. It also means I get things the homeless don't. You earn your way in a country that values freedom and doesn't value the theft that socialism and socialists want.
If I knew you were dying and saving your life cost me $1, I'd never think twice about the $1. You disagree because the $1 somehow then obligates you to adopt every baby available or something.
If you REALLY believe this, then sponsor a starving child; that costs about $1 a day. All charity should be mutually consensual, not forced by a fiscally authoritarian state.
