The problem with to many children is whom they are born to and what will be their place in society as productive or non productive. I have two children. My wife has three children. All our children are from former marriages. In effect we have an average of 2.5 children. All our children are educated with degrees. All our children are productive.
At a 2.5 per couple we are marginally above replacement level for society. However, when one considers war and disease it is probably just about replacement level.
Our children are not a burden on society. They are taxed by society.
ps
Before any racist comments are made, I am very white and my wife is a very lovely shade of Mexican brown and we both love all our kids dearly.
