"Child Nutrition
Every child should have enough to eat. Good nutrition is a prerequisite of a healthy life. We must focus our resources on feeding needy children. The present school lunch programs provide a 20 percent subsidy to underwrite the meals of children from middle- and upper-income families."It was because of things like The 1976 Republican Party Platform on Child Nutrition that I joined the Republican Party as an 18-year-old. Sadly, the party I believed in and campaigned for is long dead and gone. It has been taken over completely by the 1% who are only interested in increasing their own profits by sending jobs overseas, hiding their money in tax havens to save them from paying their fair share of taxes, and writing laws that benefit wealthy corporations and screw over the rest of us. They would just as soon the children of struggling parents starve as do anything that might cut into their own bottom line. Shameful. Today, the G in GOP stands for GREED.
