Seriously

Yes, you might find this discriminatory, but every kid born taxes our resources that much more. If a parent wants to do the utterly selfish thing of having more kids than two - then they should pay.

Oh, and by the way, I am a Parent.

It takes a ****ed up mind to see a child as something that 'taxes our resources.'

We should not get into the business of telling people what their family makeup should be. If you have lots of kids it's going to cost you a lot.

I don't want to be like China!

It seems to me that many DUers are about as totalitarian as the right!

24. You said you didn't want to be like China, so I made the joke of
   
"Better dead than red" because if we continue to reproduce world-wide as we are now it won't be too many years until the whole system experiences a massive die off, kind of like the fruit flies in science class. So we will be dead becasue of our success at reproducing.

Get it?

Instead of being red, like China. get it?

I don't want to tell people to limit their kids to just two like China did.
   
Better dead then red was used in the 60's to define the anti communist crowd who wanted to increase the military budget and close the missile gap and such.

I didn't think it was funny then either.

Yeah, you're right .....a tax on all persons that have kids depending on the government to provide for them. I think a 100% tax rate would be a start. ....for the first one. ....... And double for each additional child.

Long long time ago.....back in the 70's ....if not before, I just remember it was around then...there was a joke...

Know what the difference is between a Democrat and a Republican?

A Democrat has no money, a bunch of kids and is Catholic.

A Republican has money, 2 kids, and is Episcopalian.

Obviously it became politically incorrect.....


just for the record....I grew up Episcopalian...and am Catholic now.

Actually, being a person who has no children, I resent paying for the "education" of other peoples kids.

They should at least revoke the deductions for children and apply that to the educational costs.



It is in society's (and thus our) interest to have an educated populace, which means educating kids in an INVESTMENT.

HOWEVER, that investment is NOT paying off, as we can see by the progressive dumbing down of the populace over the last 40 years or so.  Now, even in newspapers, the "educated" people can't even properly distinguish between "less" and "fewer" -- writers and editors both.

If I am getting nothing on my investment, I want to reinvest it where it can do some good.  How about vouchers?

In my case, I am walking away from my "investment" -- I'll be damned if I will stay in a place where we put the most into education and have the lower education level by any standard.

And the Federal Government should have ZERO involvement in education, except training of our Armed Forces.

Society as a whole has an interest in both the prodution of children, and the education of children.  Very few can truly say they will have no benefits from the investment in the next generations, even if they have no children themselves.  Unless we completely revamp our entire society (and in a libertarian direction instead of the socialist direction we are now moving), the quality of the next generations will have a lot to do with how we live our last years.

I've never had my house burn down but I pay to support the fire department.

Still, if the DUmmies were posting about some GOP effort to have parental consent before performing abortions on minors the first cry would be about the encroachment of reproductive freedoms.

You would think that DU'ers would want people to have as many kids as they could, they will need future tax payers to continue pay for their socialist ways.  Having just two kids paying taxes wont even be enough to cover their own parents medicare.

One would think, but their simple minds have been fully indoctrinated to see their fellow human beings (including their own children) as a 'burden' on 'resources' that should be disposed of if it serves 'the common good.' Liberalism/Communism is truly a mental disorder.

238. Been around the world and saw that all the stupid people are breeding...
   
the cretins cloning and feeding.......


don't know why breeders are so defensive when it's ever suggested that the planet needs us to practice self control.


Animal studies show clearly the results of overpopulation. But when it comes to our little bundles of idealized, romanticized joy, there is no end to denial and rationalizing.

I like a diversity of flora and fauna more than I like more and more and more "little miracles", or is that little shoppers?

and for those who say, "but that child may be the next Einstein"? Or the next Jeffrey Dahmer. The bell curve works both ways.

Obviously, they view all people through their own experiences...and since they've admitted a large percentage of illegal drug use, unemployment or underemployment, and homelessness...not to mention being completely unable to function in reality...they fail to recognise the fact that 90% of those "burdensome children" grow up, find real work, and end up being a plus to society and the country.  Of course, as most of the DUmmies are determined to be overall minuses, it's easy to see why they miss the big picture.

True.  But for that, you get your house maybe saved.

Public support for raising and educating children ensures not only that there will be firemen, but also that they can actually read the street signs to find your place.  The expenditure has both direct and indirect benefits to society.

Absolutely.

Now I assert, and I'm sure all sides of our dialogue would agree, that keeping education local or state-based as opposed to that federal monstrosity we have now would be the lesser evil and greater good.

Yes, they should be willing practice everything they preach instead of expecting others to make the sacrifice for them. They want communism after all, so they should be willing to contribute to 'the greater good.' Never going to happen though.

They didn't think about that, because I don't believe that crazy checks and welfare count as earned income. Could be wrong though.

They never seem to realize that their precious Social Security Ponzi scheme (and don't you DARE try to privatize it!!) needs lots and lots of babies to make it work. 
Apart from that, we need lots and lots of babies to grow up and pay for the huge porkin stinkfest they want so badly.
