Bill Clinton’s War on “DeadBeat Dads”……..(Dads)
My name is Isabella and I am 15 years old. Children love and need both parents in their lives. The current system is so sad, it takes one parent and makes them the outcast, usually the father.
I did some research and found out why and is breaks my little heart that my beloved America, is corrupt like this.
Here is how the system works, this may be hard to believe and you may try and fight against it, but it is true.
When Bill Clinton signed the order to have the United States Government incentivize the States to enforce Child Support laws because tracking down and prosecuting deadbeat fathers is not cheap.
You may not know this but the States get almost matching dollars from the US Government(Tax Payer, YOU) for every dollar they collect thru the States child support system.
So far all this sounds good, right. Track down those bad dads that run off and leave the mom holding the bag. Unfortunately when money is involved things can become corrupt.
I am sure you know someone who has gotten divorced. The standard for divorces now days is one parent gets the child and one parent pays child support thru the State. But you are probably asking, isn’t the Child Support system for Deadbeat dads???
Like I said earlier that is what it was supposed to be for. The States quickly figured, the more Fathers they have on child support the more money they would get. And since the Father is not a deadbeat dad it is so easy to collect the money, just draft it out of his check every month.
It has turned into a multi-billion dollar industry for the States and this industry is subsidized by the tax payer. Also the courts and layers are benefiting from this as the parents fights for custody. Note, the money the States received is not earmarked, they can use it for anything.
If the laws were set for shared custody then the States would lose billions of dollars every year so they have no incentive to change.
It is sad that my father was taken away from me because of greed, a little girl needs her father to protect her and show her how to be treated by men.
I hate the child support system for taking my father from me!!!
