Amen. A-freaking-men.

Point well argued. But now we're into another very related subject...

Perhaps people that have to work 2 - 60 hour per week jobs should not have kids in the first place.

I agree about the kids in foster care and what not, but I'm not really concerned about them in this case. The state will pay for their MetroCards regardless because they are in foster care. So it should not be an issue for that group of kids.

And remember, I did say this:

"Secondly, there should be a process for kids that have worthless parents to get themselves some MetroCard support. It isn’t their fault that they were born by losers."

First of all "irrigardless" isn't a word.

Secondly, I agree that it shouldn't be the MTA, but the school district or state ends up being the same thing. The MTA is a state run service, so it doesn't really matter which government organization pays for it because we all end up paying through taxes.

However, the money SHOULD come from the local government of NYC. There's no reason tax dollars from someone in Albany or Utica should be spent in NYC to give kids a free ride to school.

At the end of the day, it is the parents and the community's problem.

Thanks

Wow. Now that blows.

I'm really hoping to. It is tough finding the time these days.

I'd love to publish stories from other people too!

You had me at:

"First of all it doesn't cost the MTA nothing..."

Moron.

They have school systems that pay for school buses with resident tax dollars. Idiot.
