Even though the birth rates are declining in the US, poor Americans are still having more kids than rich Americans are having kids. That is why child poverty rates are still high in America. I haven’t understood why the trend continues.
Because it's one thing to pay for the upbringing of your own children and the taxpayers funding their existence for you. We have dozens of daycare centers in my suburb since the lower income people moved in. When it was just middle-class, we didn't have one. They survive by government vouchers to help encourage people to work. If you are not paying for your own children, you can have as many as you like, whereas working people can only have as many children as they can afford.
Every once in awhile you make a post that makes sense. The Poor and Poverty always HAVE had more children. I really don't have the answer why. Maybe they just like to screw more.
No, it's because having children is no real expense to them like they are for working people. One of the reasons I never got married and had a family was the expense.
When having this discussion in the past, people told me I was Hitleresque for saying people under the age of 45 should have to be fixed first before being considered for welfare. No more having kids while on the dole. It's not Hilteresque at all given this is what working people do all the time. After all, the apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree, and there is no way to solve poverty when we encourage poor people to procreate.
