Are you saying social welfare caused the advancement of modern societies?
A couple struggling with their mortgage will not go and have 5 kids.
But can you not agree it was irresponsible to have so many while homeless?
Transferred ? Why transferred. I acquired my small sliver of "all wealth" by working and investing. I didn't get it as a result of a transfer, and I certainly don't want to give it up in a transfer.
I would be very happy to see those who do all the work having ownership of all the wealth, it would happen a lot faster if taxes were reduced.
Staying on topic is one thing, but staying in topic is another.

I would agree that, if you agree that any generation that lived in poverty, were also irresponsible, including my grandparents?
How could I say if what your grandparents did nearly 100 years ago was a good idea or not? Those were different times, I know little of what happened back then.

I would suggest you know very little about the life of a woman with 5 kids, no home of her own, with child that requires full-time care either.
Doesn't stop you commenting on her though does it?
We don't base our lives on the standards of a century ago.
Yes, I'd take certain aspects of it but if I was transported back to 1917 I think I'd be wanting to get back to 2017
My grandparents did loads of stuff I wouldn't do today and vice versa. It doesn't mean I think they were stupid or irresponsible.

Do you think the person with the five children should take any responsibility for the position she finds herself in.
I do I am just interested in your views as to what responsibility she should take.Absolutely, no question. Do you not?

Interesting that you respond with "She" and " a roof over head", which I find a bit ironic as "She" is not looking after her children "We" are. She had an additional child conceived while she was homeless!She should look after her children as best she can, you know, feeding, clothing, roof over head...the usual stuff.

She is looking after her children, did you not listen to the interview?
"We", are not looking after her children. Get of your high horse (no pun intended), but your personal tax contribution to society is so inadequate, barely relevant, to anything in that woman's life. This notion that 'your' taxes pay for 'everything', for everybody is delusional.
Tell us, how much tax do you pay? And then tell us do you have children? Do you use public roads, were you educated in the public school system? Ever use a public hospital? Ever use a public park? Public beaches? Ever visit a public museum? Use public transport? Use public sewerage system? Use public water system? Ever vote? Ever called the emergency services for anything?...etc...etc
Your personal tax contributions are so miniscule, so tiny, that you would have to work twenty lifetimes before they would even register as any sort of meaningful contribution considering all the things that you use and avail of from the rest of the taxpayers. And that applies to use all.
You live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, one of the most developed countries in the world by global standards, one of the safest and politically stable countries in the world.
When we start to take responsibility for all our actions, instead over consuming, polluting, feeding the illegal drug trade buying lines of coke that leave teenage apprentice plumbers dead. Stop abusing alcohol, stop wasting vast quantities of food, etc...then we can lecture others.
Having a child is not irresponsible, leaving a child in crowded conditions, suffering from cerebral palsy is.

Do you think her behaviour is acceptable? And by her behaviour I mean having a 5th child while homeless.
Also, while my taxes may only pay for her needs in part that doesn't mean I can't be pissed off at what she is doing.
You mention the overconsumption, pollution, illegal drugs trade, these are all choices people are making, no one forces these on people they choose to make these decisions.
