[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3+ kids is selfish and irresponsible. I wish society would stop glorifying it. [/quote]

America's birthrate isn't at replacement level. Someone is going to have to pay for your social security someday. Maybe you should be thanking those who are willing to have more than two. [/quote]

Nah. I'm good. I don't have any expectation of receiving social security anyway. They will have it means-tested by then. People who are counting on it should be worried though! Especially after they spend all their money on their 3+ kids! Hope they will support you in your old age![/quote]

You should probably realize you’re most likely not going to be able to afford your nursing home either given the plummeting birth rate and resulting labor shortage. Unless this country suddenly changes its mind about immigration. We’d have to get rid of the GOP’s stranglehold on state politics first though. In other words: fat chance of that happening.[/quote]

The GOP opposition to immigration is a temporary issue.  Historically rich people loved immigration because it supplies cheap labor to  staff their business, clean their homes, etc.  My super conversative Republican brother is always talking about how hard working the Mexican immigrants are and how you can’t get native born poor people to do a decent job on your lawn.  As soon as the GOP sufficiently fixes the vote, and can figure out how to capture the immigrant vote (which they’ve been making progress on), they’ll be happy to have immigrants to work at the crappy chain for-profit nursing homes that they own.  This momentary opposition to immigrant labor is causing them a huge headache, labor wise.[/quote]

Take it to the politics board.[/quote]
