If you pay to help the kid when they are young, there is more of a chance they will grow up to be a contributing healthy member of society.

Those in power do not want a contributing healthy member of society. They want malleable, docile workers that will do as they’re told and not challenge the system.

I disagree. What they want is to threaten those they see as inferior. It's a power trip borne from an ideological feedback loop. Sense and goals are secondary to "poor people need to take responsibility for feeding their children, I'm not paying for their decisions".
