> Because we don't want to support a permanent underclass of parasites? Why do you think that would happen?

  I covered that in the original comment, immediately after the part you quote. >> As you adjust the rules of society to favor having children and not working at the expense of those who work and delay their children, you'll find that the demographics of society adjust to the new rules. What's more, it's already happening right now, so a better question might be "why do you think making this lifestyle more attractive would make the problem worse"

    You just supposed that to be true without really explaining WHY you think that's true. > What's more, it's already happening right now No it's not. The birth rate in the US has been steadily declining over the last century. Unemployment rates over the last 80 years oscillate around 6-7% pretty consistently. So... why do you think that?
