When I got married me and my wife were up in the air about having kids. But the hot tub and two bottles of wine showed up on a Saturday night and things happened. 😎😎😎. Got two wonderful sons. 🕺🕺

Stop LEGAL immigration and wages will go up. Simple as that.

I can’t help but point out the low IQ in this silly claim.

A family with more children becomes a family with greater wealth.

When a country has more families with more children the country becomes more wealthy.

America’s enemies know this, so they try to make us think having children is costly.

It’s a lie, and America’s enemies lie because they have low IQs.

Telling more lies will not increase the IQ of America’s enemies.

“A family with more children becomes a family with greater wealth.”

Clearly that’s a rash generalization.

Have ya been to Walmart?

If you can have 10 kids and watch them run around like weeds in poverty go for it.

Actually having kids threw us into debt and poverty for 20 years.

I’m not talking about single parent families.

You should understand this point. Doesn’t take a genius.

Review what our great economists have said about this.

Having a family creates wealth.

t doesn’t pass the smell test, since the top reasons don’t seem to stop those who have the most children everywhere in the world from having them

From the article:

[...] the most common reasons people name for not having more children are financial in nature.
So M'bongo and his three wives stopped after child #19 because they felt that they couldn't afford it.

Regards,

Having children doesn’t lead to poverty.

Not making enough money does.

Where does wealth come from?

It comes from being productive.

Have kids, teach them values, and they will produce wealth.

“I’m not talking about single parent families.”

Neither was I. You should understand this point. Doesn’t take a genius.

Then speak clearly.

Not speaking clearly suggests deceptive intent.
