This is because they have no idea how to do anything except play video games and buy weed. They come from homes where the father is who knows where and the mother has to work 2 jobs to put food on the table and nobody raises the kids or teaches them how to do anything.
Schools and community members should team up and form a mentor program for these kids, and others that want to learn real life skills.
I had two parents, my mother taught me how to cook and my father taught me how to make things with my hands and mind. My sisters and I weren't allowed to play video games for more than a couple hours MAX per day. We were taught to learn how to make a life for ourselves and it was up to us to do so. At age 14 we were put out into the working field and LEARNED HOW TO DO THINGS! When we were younger, we sold lemonade and lilacs in the front yard... There weren't any whiney bitches around back then to call the police and say we were selling stuff and not paying tax on it... A-Holes.
If you people don't have the time to raise your kids, then DON'T HAVE THEM!

GOOD! It makes it a hell of allot easier for the ones that actually have drive to get ahead in life. Someone has to serve me my hamburger through the window. Why does everyone think everyone should succeed in life. THE WORLD NEEDS LOSERS, but if you get government assistance you should not be able to vote.

The standard deduction for dependents should be a max. of one per each adult on tax from ; joint return = max of two. Anyone who wants to have more than one dependent, well that dependent will depend only on THEM, handouts and assistance max at two person household. And show up in person for those benefits; to pay taxes on my earning I have to be ready for a urine analysis and 'show up'-sometimes for a canceled job. If you aren't fit for work don't breed. If you want a kid plan ahead and have some savings or a partner (maybe the DNA DAD) there to help.

LOL Reality check. I like that one. "the world needs loosers"

Although its really annoying seeing them screw up an order at a fast food joing that my 14 month old could get right.

Some kids are just plain dumb these day. I dont know if its the parents fault, or maybe there mentors (eg. Paris Hilton) LOLOLOL. That chick is dumber than a box of rocks. Or future is going to be in the hands of these Left wing children and its pretty scarey.
