Maybe not taxed..but less given for deductions...because if you have enough children you can claim no taxable income.
Kind of, we should do something discourage people like this. Sadly, I think one day population control will be enforced, and probably violenty, because people now are not awakened to the fact that it is a problem are doing something about voluntarily. These people are not acting responsibly.
True, it's the ones that have a child and can't take care of that one and then have another one and so on and so on......That is not being responsible.
Also from my experiences I see more people that cannot afford children having too many which leads to overpopulation of public schools which do not get any money from the children b/c their parents don't make a lot and they get a zero dollar taxable income. Which leads to others paying for their education via tax dollars. Also, imo, leads to more "lower"-class of people meaning who aren't given an oportunity for a good education or a good household where they can learn how o be responsible or have good job skills. But we do need people in the factories and cooking our fast food (that's my job).
I could take this to the D & D but I won't. Overpopulation is something there are a lot of misunderstandings about. Ask Europe, who continues to lose people because they can't keep the 2.4 % birth rate up, which is the replacement rate for a country.
It's the impact on our natural resources that I'm most concerned about. I think this planet can support a finite amount of people. World population is growing exponentially. It's a huge problem.
What a load of crap! Are you saying people who have a lot of children are lower class citizens? That they are only able to work in factories or fast foods? Wow, what a stupid comment. And for the record, public monies for schools come from property taxes, not income tax. Unless they are living on the street, just about everyone pays property taxes in one way or another.
With all due respect, that is some pretty shallow research. Chec...chec....check it out (towards the bottom for the real analysis) http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/P/Populations.html
I said from "my experiences" (not everone) which is living in SW Mo, where in my old high school where over 75% of students qualified for a free lunch program...meaning living below the poverty line....meaning a less of a chance at having a non-state funded health insurance.. School monies does come from property tax...my prior statement was an over-simplification (and worded horribly wrong) of my opinion that if you have less money you don't buy a Mercededs or have six-houses, or own an airplane that generates the property tax. Do you believe that a family that consists of parents, or a parent, that cannot afford the children that they have (cannot afford to feed, cloth, and properly medicate their children without government aid) will have as good of a chance (the child) as being successful as if they had what they could afford? Responding to fast food...factories.... Once again in my experiences that is the case because IMO poor people tend to make bad choices. Wether it's not going to college and getting a job (which is almost availible to anyone with govwernment aid via a community college [once agin where I am living]). Right now I am working at Sonic (Drive-In) making $6.50 a hour working 40 hours a week and my school year just ended where I worked the same work schedule and went to school full time including the 45 minute drive to school and then the same drive back, getting about 5 hours a sleep a night (when I could go to sleep) and got a 3.75 gpa going to a community college on a federal pell grant. I am willing to work hard to get out of that minimum bracket and I feel that not everyone is willing to via getting an education which I think you'll agree is one key to getting a job that is not fast food or not factory. I also think that you'll agree that if you're not qualified for a job you probably won't get it. How do you get qualified? I am sure that there are poor people working 100x's harder that I or you are to get out of poverty but from my experiences "poor people" are able to be satisfied with just living the life they're living.
As the population has grown . . so have our method of making food I would venture to say . .we WASTE more food now than ever before Rocket River Resources are not the issue IMO
This is just plain wrong...I only re-post so some other poor soul can have the same image I have now...
Who gives a crap about resources. There is no one on this planet who NEEDS 15 kids. It'd disgusting. That horrible parenting imo. Being a good parent isn't so much about money but about personal attention and there is no way if you have 15 kids, that they're getting the attention they need to be normal people. I'd lean towards a tax for people like that but if it's not successful as a preventative measure (and I'm sure it wouldn't be with idiots like that who'd consider having 15 kids in the first place), it'd just hurt the kids and thats the #1 priority. The selfish part of me though thinks the planet is overpopulated. Case in point, rush hour. I hate rush hour. It's like get a job people.
She should have stopped at 13. Baker's dozen. Pgab, of all the people to engage in stereotyping, I'd expect it least of all from you. Given your sensitivity to it when it comes to blacks, I would think you'd be more cognizant of that. Hayjon, I'd point out that there is a degree to which having many children actually eases the burden of personal attention. Children can receive the love, affection, and attention of parents and siblings, and several of the siblings are quite mature.
