| Message | There is no requirement to change this. If a large family is also poor, then they already receive child support. All this bill does is give more money to those families who already have the money. |

| Message | Well the calculations must accept that a family with a large amount of children haf extra expenses and therefore the average income could be considered poor. That depends on the families general income. We are still in doubt on this one. |
