I said that when you are done having a family. If you reread it you will see that. I'm not saying that if you're poor you should be sterilized. Just that you have to work a little harder than someone who can afford any luxury they want. People who have children and can't afford them should not depend on Social Services for the money to raise them. It was not created for that but for people who suffered sudden illness, death of a spouse, a sick child that needs specialized medical care, someone who for whatever reason can no longer work but has worked and paid into the system. It was supposed to be a safety net until other help was available. It was not supposed used instead of a job so people could have all the children they think they have the "right" to have. Too many people have a feeling of entitlement and are irresponsible.
Two Cents, in a perfect world, you are entirely right. But for some reason, people do not think that way. And it's sad. It makes so much sense to say, well I have little money, so MAYBE I'll just have one child, instead of four. But for some reason, too many people live in the moment and decide that they are going to die in 50 years anyways so why not screw over all these other people and I'll just abuse the system. It's so easy to do, so why not? That's their philosophy, and at the same time it really does make sense. They are living the life they want, while we pay for it, while still keeping in mind that they don't care about others. That will never, ever change, as long as their is always a lower class.
