241 - ABOLISH CHILD SUPPORT

(Satire) American men have suffered enough because of the decision of former President Gerald Ford. On January 4, 1975, President Gerald Ford signed into law a section of the Social Security Act that established a national child support collection system. A revision to The Elizabethan Poor Law, enacted in 1601, established a national system for poor relief in England, requiring parishes to collect taxes to support the "impotent" poor (those unable to work) through almshouses and providing work for the "able-bodied" in workhouses, while punishing vagrants and beggars.
