supporters of retaining 2 child benefit cap always state people should simply have smaller families...that is not something a child can ever control.. we have a responsibility to lift children and families out of poverty and it will pay for itself with better health and wellbeing.

But even as a driver I get men beeping , flashing lights, then driving up alongside of me, giving me the finger, shouting and calling me "dolly daydream" for simply observing a 20 mph speed limit..
