[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What "dis-incentives" should society place on people to deter them from having children they cannot possibly care for? In immigration law, there are provisions to prevent people from emigrating to the U.S. if they are "likely to become a public charge" (ie - dependent on welfare to survive). Why are there so few provisions applicable to US citizens?[/quote] What do you suggest? Before the state issues a birth certificate, each parent must present their most recent tax return for public inspection, and if their income is below a certain limit, they get 40 lashes? Plus an extra 20 if the mother refuses to provide the name of the biological father? The willingness of affluent people to place restrictions on the liberty of poor people is astonishing.[/quote] Are you kidding me?? Who doesn't have restrictions on their personal liberties? It's not just poor people. Middle class people often have to sacrifice having more kids because of financial reasons. Why shouldn't that be the same for poor families? And when you are relying on taxpayer money to fund your multiple kids, then by default, it's fair to expect that you lose some of your personal liberties until you can get yourself out of poverty.
