Actually, it would be better if, as I heard/saw someone say today.....after 2 children....NO ONE WOULD GET ANY WELFARE!!!
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.
