Do you want ‘Idiocracy’? Because this is how you get ‘Idiocracy’.

We need a basic income, then additions for everything you do.

Get up before 9am? bonus
Take a shower? bonus
Watch MSNBC or CNN? bonus
Turn in a neighbor for too many at a gathering? bonus
and on and on.

Does any of this make sense, when we allow so many millions of immigrants into this country? And millions more come in illegally? We are not facing declining population.

Stop all immigration. All. Then wages and opportunities will go up for young people. It is that simple.

If you don’t let in the aliens, and instead you encourage the growth of the nation by its native citizens, you end up with a virtuous cycle of a stronger nation with ever more citizens inculcated with the national norms.

If you DON’T do that, you end up with no nation at all...just the Balkans

Any society with below replacement level fertility is rotten. Any socialist society is rotten. You get me high fertility and low socialism and I am on board.

Aliens with 4 kids. Test their math skills before allowing them in. Those families with 3 kids can adopt another from their own clan in the old country. Next every single woman brings one child into this world and lets someone else raise it if she has no resources. Doesn’t matter how screwed up she is. Let the churches sponsor the families.

Why would anyone want a country of babies that were conceived for money instead of a nation of babies conceived in love? People, mostly, Lesbians, are already conceiving babies through artificial means. Is this what we want? A nation of paid for babies and babies with no fathers?

Wages are going up a lot at the lower end. Florida for example has a minimum wage of 7.50 or so and voters just raised it to 15 an hour. That’s a huge increase.

At the same time quit giving money to the abortion mills and STOP the manufacture of all abortion pills like “Plan B.”

Nice idea, but it doesn’t work.
A number of Euroweenie nations (notably Germany) have tried this to no avail.

I wonder if reverse psychology might work - make kids a luxury item that requires fees and papers?
