Yeah. It's evil to have kids that will depend on other people.


Yet another irrational, emotionally-driven outburst from you that adds nothing to the discussion.

You should just substitute the angry emoticons in place of your text, it will save time and be equal in value content-wise,

The state is not unsustainable because of welfare, but because of a gross lack of oversight and regulation in the financial markets. The fact that the cost of living continues to increase rapidly while income, minimum wage, and benefits are all kept at a fairly restricted level actually harms the economy, since people are getting less and less money relative to inflation to stimulate that economy. The end result is the contraction and eventual collapse of the middle class. Throw in a complete unwillingness to tax people who make more money than anyone will ever need in a hundred lifetimes while those same people hoard more and more of the wealth, and you have a definite recipe for economic collapse. And that's simply ignoring the other problems that are becoming more urgent (and are also largely ignored).


I don't want to turn this into a thread about the merits of socialism vs. capitalism. However you seem to agree that a collapse is imminent.

In such a case it would be foolish to have a child when one is dependent on government benefits to support one's self?

Well, I think we are all agreeing to disagree at this point and moving on.

Have a good night all. :D
