Seems to me it's the people that have kids that generally free ride on society, not the other way around (not that there's anything wrong with that). Also, it's incredibly authoritative to expect people who are capable to have kids. Romania tried that in the 70s and 80s with Ceauseascu banning all contraception. Well the people gave him the only Christmas gift a person who bans contraceptives ever deserves: execution. That was the greatest Christmas in Romanian history.
- oliwarner 9y agoThere are other ways to influence this. The biggest problem society can face in this regard is unsupported children. No snobbery here but this is a problem we can throw money at. Better schools, better class sizes, free school meals to combat malnutrition, adult education to fight multi-generational unemployment. Middle class families are already doing their bit here. Additional income taxes on DINKs (via higher base rates and breaks for supported children) could really help the next generation of lower class children, and therefore society as a whole.
