Libertarians around the world like AKTCHUALLY this is good for Argentinians! Nobody being able to afford goods and services is the cornerstone of a healthy society! I am very smart!
Why does everyone keep saying child poverty?
Like, do children in other countries have some sort of massive wealth I'm not aware of?
To distinguish in their minds between people possessing free will and such, and people who don't (yet). The first, the adult, is only a victim of their own poor life choices (in this individual responsibility-guilt view on society), their shitty life situation is supposedly their own fault. While children are 'victims'. Thus advocating for equal chances rather than actual equality (which would involve shit like hard capping inheritance etc).
