Not punishing poor kids for having poor parents would be a huge moral hazard.
If i'm not falling victim to Poe's law, I'm going to need further elucidation here, as that sounds an awful lot like punishing the child for the sins of the parent there.
You can't seriously believe that is a tenable/desirable state of affairs?
I believe that you are correct about Poe's, the comment was sarcasm.
