Even the gimmedat set is aborting their kids like crazy. There's no longer any need for them to have kids to justify receiving welfare of every sort.
Kinda reminds me of liberals who want to tell others what to eat and drink.
Political tags such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort. ---Robert A. Heinlein
As was my reply to your post. You described those on the cover story as "selfish" and I pointed out that someone who is truly selfish is one who takes government handouts that are collected by The State at the point of a gun.
I try to stay on point
Good for you!
I certainly agree with your point. Selfishness has many faces. And even narcissists can have children. Look at Ubama. Of course, Ubama may have agreed to children more for their potential as political props than anything else, and perhaps to provide cover for his ‘down low’ lifestyle.

Wow! Quoting the author I grew up reading? If I had Facebook or Tweeter I would “friend” you.
Excellent!
I’m with you! I’m a 41-year old male and I don’t want kids for the very reasons you listed. In fact, at my age, it’s hard to find women without kids.
Thanks!
$1500. I'm tempted...
Wow! I’d be tempted, too except I already have most of his books up in the attic. I even still have the original printing of ‘The Past Through Tomorrow’ I got through The Science Fiction Book Club, circa 1967.
i do have one son-—and that was enough.
i love him; i have no regrets, but glad
i didn’t have more-—both of us can have a life...
geeze, i wouldn’t go that far-—
I can't imagine any circumstance, welfare state or not, where anyone would need your approval. Thus your unsolicited permissiveness is unappreciated.
“And because of women like her we have illegal immigrants flooding into this country doing the work she wouldnt do.”
No, it’s because we make working stupid unless you make more than $30k per year by making welfare so lucrative!
Seeing the sewer this country was headed for over 50 years ago we make the dicision not to make any offspring of ours have to live through it!
Well, one of my criteria for choosing which candidate earns my vote is their stance on redistribution of income. (I'm against it)
There is a small but measurable chance that my vote will determine which candidate wins office in any given election in which I participate...and that politician just might cast the deciding vote which will prevent someone on government assistance with a gaggle of children from receiving benefits.
See? There's a consequence to my disapproval!
EXACTLY!
What about nieces and nephews? What about other kids he could have taken under his wing...even as just an advisor, or big brother of sorts. If he’d really had something he wanted passed on, he would have....
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Yeah but this article was aimed at white people. They want the whites to die off while the minorities continue to be dependent on government.
Paying what price, exactly?
For one, the economic penalty. Without a growing society it is impossible to sustain the dependent society. Without a growing dynamic population we do what? Stagnate, shrink? If we do the income and revenue that sustained the growth stops and we endure the penalty. For starters.
3 years later my wife saw her at the local grocery pushing a stroller and buying pampers.
IMNHO this child should never have been raising children.
