So: only the wealthy should have children. Got it.

  And only the wealthy can enjoy all experiences, like drinking and drugs, according to some of the other commenters here. These threads always remind me that most of us here don’t have a background of poverty and struggle.

  The parent above wants a way to stop people that can't shoulder the financial burden of children intentionally placing that responsibility on society, and suggests removing subsidies that allow that reallocation of burden is a way to achieve it. It isn't clear what part you disagree with. Is it the solution he proposes that you don't think will work? Or the implication the government would have the right to restrict parenthood to those it feels capable? I know I disagree with the latter, but I don't have an alternative to the former. Which is (I think) exactly what the parent means when they say 'That is the issue nobody likes to address'. I think if there's anything in the post I do agree with, it is that education feels like a good starting point, and that personal responsibility is a necessity.
