"Now, why are you so pissy about building the future for those to come? We are carrying you"
Oh please, you can't be serious. Most of the "childless by choice" are serious career minded folks who are driving the economy. They ARE some of the thinkers, the leaders, the innovators, because they have the time and the resources to be them. They contribute to the economy and society every bit as much if not more as those who do nothing else but pop out a few kids, and I say this as a stay at home mom of three. One could even say that THEY are carrying US, from an economic perspective anyway, since they are the ones who keep the economy humming, but I won't say that because I realize we all have our own equally important contributions to make.
I have to disagree with that. People like that are more like black holes. They suck in and horde resources, vote down infrastructure improvements, create an instant gratification culture, and in general contribute very little to the coming generation.

Sure, then they can take time off from their obsession with sex and various kinds of inebriation, I’m sure they have a few good thoughts. Please, you’re describing junk bond dealers and real estate agents here.
