It Begins… 2010 Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Pushes Chinese-Style Population Control
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 24, 2013 | Jim Hoft

Michael E. Arth ran for governor in Florida in 2010 as a Democrat.

This week Arth pushed Chinese-style population control. He also Americans should purchase “birth credits” to have kids. Vice.com reported:

So if people live longer and longer, how do you deal with overpopulation? That’s why we have to get started now. Waiting just compounds the problem. World population increases by 220,000 every day, after accounting for the 155,000 who die. It’s truly a hydra-headed problem, because for every person that is cut down by death, more than two are born. This is like adding the combined populations of England, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand to the world every year. Politicians don’t address overpopulation because they focus on issues that will get them re-elected in the short term, while the business interests that influence them want to see more and more consumers.

They don’t address it unless they’re China. China would have two billion people today if not for their population policies. Nevertheless, China still added 350 million more Chinese since they implemented strict family planning measures in 1978, because of what’s called population momentum. Because of the burst in population growth under Chairman Mao, the average age of the population had dropped. Until these excess young people had their own children, the population increased faster than if you had an evenly distributed demographic. So even limiting families to one child per couple was not low enough to stop population growth.

Now, thanks to the one-child policy – to which there are many exceptions, by the way – China’s ageing population will probably not grow much more from now on, as long as they don’t remove the restrictions....

Illegals can have, and rape their way into,
scores of children, but American citizens must
apply to the State for permission for their first.

Makes sense. What could go wrong?

And if people don’t buy those “birth credits”... will there be forced abortions or executions of newborns?

I believe that there are Freepers who are sympathetic to “overpopulation” issues and agree that something should be done to curb population growth. My post here is meant to draw our attention to their ignorance. Hopefully they will come out of the shadows and then we can get their minds right.

Have a nice day. Vote for me!!”

Better yet, those that believe that there are too many people should do the honorable thing and “off” themselves. Lead by example!

Flip it: if you’re dependent on Government Payments, you are REQUIRED to have a birth-control implant. Disagree with birth control ? Fine. Either get sterilized or no payments. . .

Me neither, and I live in Florida, too. All I remember is Sink, Sank, Sunk. Also remember Swamp Witch running at some time (Janet Reno).

I’ve always thought this was why the government so actively promotes the lifestle other than Bathhouse Barry’s support ofit for obvious reasons...

I think population control is a close second to the primary agenda of destroying the family.

I think the family is the el primo target for the left/Satan. This can be seen by looking at the totality of the agenda that the left is pushing - even down to the details of car seat requirements (larger per child footprint in the car) combined with fuel economy requirements (smaller cars). This is just one example of many.

So does his master. We have an enemy. He really hates us - because his Enemy loves us.
