Young people already in the West might like to have kids as well, if not for the massive looming burdens already upon them in part because of these subsidized social costs, not to mention growing college education debts and home ownership further out of reach. Intelligent people see the looming clouds of everything from a growing national debt to the difficulty of integrating foreigners and recognize that these have costs to be inevitably paid in the form of taxes or bonds/inflation. Unfortunately it's the stupid people who don't see it or don't give a shit and have kids they won't be able to take care of, only increasing the burden on the rest of us. I'd like to be able to put away an additional 20% into savings for my own children, not someone else's.
- yardie 11y agoAh yes. It's the stupid people that have caused massive housing costs increases, massive healthcare increases and stagnant wages. Yup despite your taxes not increasing a cent since that islamofascist Kenyan took over the office of POTUS it is you that has to bear the burden of stupid people having kids. Give me a break.
- brbsix 11y agoLow IQ immigrants have not caused most of these issues, they simply compound them and add to the overwhelming burden that already exists. It takes a special kind of stupid to not realize that these increased costs eventually have to be paid in one form or another.
