Let’s take a guy who has lost everything and led a tough life dealing with depression. He gets a job and pays his child support weekly. Then he opens a bank account to make weekly deposits in and offers the account to the Child Support Recovery, and they say they can't deduct from his checking account.
Let's take this guy to court, charge him by the state with no court appointed attorney, put him in jail, give him a record which makes it tougher for him to get a job. Let's make sure that he stays a dead beat by charging unfair interest and penalties. Let’s give him a social option to join crime by telling him "We don't care where you get the money, just pay it now."
So let's put him in jail, use other tax money to support him rather than him support himself while paying the best he can.
I am not an attorney or judge, nor am I a Wal-Mart building politician. But I assure you I have more common sense than destroying people who have a tough time in life.
So let us show the world that we are an unselfish, non greedy, God fearing, trusting, helping, intelligent nation that can find real ways to deal with social problems that just take the cheap way to jail.
Life is a terrible thing to waste.
