Trouble is, the vast majority of welfare is in the form of public schools. Most of the people who have children in public schools have not paid and never will pay anywhere near as much in school-supporting taxes as is being spent on their children. And virtually none of those with more than 2 children in public schools will ever pay the full tab. But to have a bunch of totally illiterate people entering adult society, because we let their leechy parents have them but then didn’t get the kids of out of these homes for a few hours a day to get even the cursory education that most public school provide, would be a recipe for disaster.
Reality check: The productive members of our society are being ever more heavily taxed (and as a result limiting their own reproduction), in order to pay for the ever expanding population of non-productive people who keep voting for more and more socialist handouts for themselves. We are fast approaching a tipping point. We’re already at the point where most productive members of society can’t afford to keep their children out of the government indoctrination centers that pass for “schools”, and which brainwash many of the offspring of productive members of society to think and vote like the offspring of the leeches. You may find it uncomfortable to face these facts, but your present discomfort pales in comparison to what your children and grandchildren will experience if this is allowed to continue for a couple more generations. Children born to non-productive parents WILL look to government for support and WILL grow into adults who vote for the government to support everyone who isn’t supporting themselves. It’s already happened to a degree sufficient to elect the solidly socialist Barack Obama to the White House.
We're past it my friend.
