Okay, but what about all the yuppies who “don’t want to have kids” because “it’s too much work”? I’m fairly certain if you look at more conservative areas of the country (down to the county level), you’ll see higher birthrates on average than more liberal parts.
Well, you have to add 'em up. I think the welfare Moms are more than making up for the yuppies who keep their families small. After all, the tax statistics say that the percentage of people who pay net positive taxes is steadily shrinking. And that is one of the big dangers to the Republic foreseen by Madison and Jefferson.
