To compare this to slavery is about as absurd as comparing everything on the internet to Hitler. Godwins law may as well apply here.
The math example holds just fine, you reap the same benefit of a clean community as anyone else would. *shrug*
we're not talking labor camps or, pardon me, "slave" camps here people, use your head and stop exaggerating the hypotheticals for the sake of finding something to argue about and lets stick to a little bit of reality.
To drive this point home, take it back to the source of this problem, back to the parents. Statistically speaking, given the amount of people who seek government assistance, A LOT of people aren't ready to have kids when they do, and you know what? out of all of them, the children of those aren't getting the kind of quality parenting it takes to be a model citizen of the United States.
Now, if your parenting is worth a damn, it's pretty easy to drill it in to the head of your progeny that "what I say, goes" and any half assed attempt to instill social values into your child via a little community service (which, guess what, i'm pretty sure they'd require a permissions form anyways) would pretty much roll off the sholders of your superior parenting in which you declare "community be damned, every man for himself!"
in any case, I'd want it there for the majority of those children who hail from the families of lazy parents, selfish parents, inattentive parents, the ones who think video games and TV will raise the children for them.
