Certainly the idea of the State culling its population is revolting (though I might the something like the LA riot an intriguing opportunity...), but that was not what I was suggesting. My objection is to the Feds subsidizing the least competent and least productive segments of our population through various forms of welfare, while simultaneously making it difficult through taxation for more productive individuals to raise families.
Needless to say, when you subsidize something you get more of it: deliberately or otherwise, that is a eugenic process, and a pretty ugly one, too. I'd like to that reversed or, at least, neutralized.

Eugenicists always reveal their real motivations when they start applying words like "superior", "competent", and "productive" to classes of people (and you have used all three just in this thread!). Since a family of four who makes under $34,000 per year doesn't pay any federal taxes and is therefore taking in far more than they contribute, let's just sterilize everyone making less than that. They aren't "productive", right? That will leave more room in society for your kind of "productive" people.

Yeah, forget sterilization. It takes too long to see the results. Let's just round them up and put them in death camps.
