What is “lunch shaming?” It happens when a child can’t pay a school lunch bill.
In Alabama, a child short on funds was stamped on the arm with “I Need Lunch Money.” In some schools, children are forced to clean cafeteria tables in front of their peers to pay the debt. Other schools require cafeteria workers to take a child’s hot food and throw it in the trash if he doesn’t have the money to pay for it.
In what its supporters say is the first such legislation in the country, New Mexico has outlawed shaming children whose parents are behind on school lunch payments.

Are you offering to be a foster parent?
No? Then your opinion as to how children should be raised is irrelevant.

Clearly his argument is invalidated because he's not performing the function you defined.
Want to raise taxes? Are you going to go out there with the gun and threaten people who don't pay? No? Then fuck off.
