It would be easier to agree with you if the welfare state didn't exist. As it stands there are benefits being paid to old people that don't really have any justification for existing if there isn't a younger generation for that old generation to positively influence and assist as grand parents. There are also tax breaks for marriage/common law that have no logical reason for existing if they aren't supporting a family. We should be redeploying these expenses to more effectively encourage a higher average birthrate, ideally by encouraging the rich to have a lot of kids, as this will have a positive benefit of more effectively disbursing large fortunes vs taxation that always fails.
