“I don't know what the affluent families are doing,” Brown said. “They're not producing or something, because half the kids in schools are from low-income families.”
At the conference, held in San Diego, Calif., in late June, Brown said California had addressed the fact that millions of children in the state’s school do not speak English.
You have to do more to be able to create that opportunity and that pathway for those families that are not having that same skill of speaking English as others,” Brown said.
“It’s pretty amazing,” Brown said. “I don't know what the affluent families are doing.
“They're not producing or something, because half the kids in schools are from low-income families,” Brown said.
Brown also spoke about immigration and “brown power.”
After giving a jumbled history of Spanish and Mexican occupation in California before statehood, Brown said power always shifts, including in the United States.
“The point is, you never keep control forever,” Brown said. “There’s always new waves coming.
“So you’ve got to stay ahead of the wave,” he added. “That’s what we call brown power.”

So do the impoverished with EITC.
You probably don’t get EITC + food stamps, WIC, section 8, free lunch/breakfast/dinner, and who knows what else besides.
BECAUSE THEY’RE TOO BUSY WORKING TO SUPPORT VAST POPULATIONS OF WELFARE SLUGS.
Forgive me, but I’m a bit suspicious of this article. These words were attributed to Gov. Moonbeam in June, but the article’s dated yesterday?
I dunno. Myself, I was wondering if an S-peach was less welcome than an M-peach. ;)
Of course, Barky wouldn’t want to hear anything about mpeaching. *grin*
Does everyone realize, with the EITC, that there is actually a NEGATIVE income tax bracket?
Democrats for the longest time have treated kids as a competition for the disposable income that families have, essentially competing with the government for that disposable income. So they discouraged having kids.
Now they’re finding out that without kids, there are no future tax payers. They’re realizing that kids are not an expense, but an investment in the future. At least some of them are. But since politics are short-term, I am not expecting the policies to change.
Stable heterosexual marriage is the lynchpin of entrance into and progression of the middle class. That is why they have to make war on both.
A stable functional middle class has little need for the big government policy prescriptions of the Democrats.
Oh yeah. Literally paid to have children.
But it only kicks in with the third child.
Dear Jerry,
Our affluent white family with five kids left California in 2010 for Wyoming and we’re not coming back.
Sincerely, Megan

She must think it relevant to write about now.
Might be ‘cause they actually have to pay for their kids instead making taxpayers pay.
As a parent with a gaggle of kids, let me suggest this is a chicken/egg issue.
It’s not that’s the affluent aren’t having kids so much as not having kids is a recipe for being affluent.
Just saying...
The reproducing affluent who are family-oriented have already fled CA as they don’t want their kids learning about condoms and cumbers in 3rd grade. Those left behind aren’t interested in kids.
Affluent people are not going to put their children in public schools.
Translation:
We need more stupid white people to pay taxes to support for this wave of brown power welfare addicts.
Well, when you stop to consider what the affluent Brown family produced...
Middle class people can't afford many kids.
But where would his votes go then?
We’ve been paying for hood-rat kids for over 5 decades....
