Why should everyone else pay more to subsidize your additional child? Is that really the responsibility of someone with no children, or few children?

Yes. Supporting children and the parents who raise them is in the interest of society. Just ask Italy and other dying European countries where the Muslims are the only ones having babies.

No, having "society" raise children is not in anyone's best interests. People should have children when they can afford to raise them themselves, and not one day sooner. Europe is a mess because practically everybody there thinks the government should manage and fund everything. The immigration policies and hand-out programs of European countries which are overrun with Arab immigrants, were not implemented by governments elected by people who take care of themselves. They were implemented by governments elected by people who trust the government to handle everything, and heavy government subsidy of all childrearing expenses is a big part of what they think it's appropriate for government to be in charge of.

Well, if the American people having babies raise them in with mommy and daddy's beliefs that they are entitled to special treatment at other's expense, then as far as I'm concerned they can just keep their legs crossed.
