  "Simply stating something does not make it a fact." Indeed.

    Oh how clever you are. And also most likely wrong. So it's good that you chose to be clever rather than trying to defend your assertion. A foster care system is, in my opinion and at least in poor areas of large metros - is a good (and pretty depressing) example of what many people are willing to do for money. To some extend - childcare subsidies demonstrate the same.

  > The idea of basic income is commendable, but do we really want a system that incentivizes large families? > Simply stating something does not make it a fact. Your first quote makes it sound as if it was the inevitable outcome. SOME people. Not all. It's a slippery slope fallacy. What if the same type of people that try to manipulate the system do it because it seems like the only reasonable way to stay afloat? It could be possible then that some of them would not have more kids to get more money.
