Well in some ways he's right but it's not going to help his chances. By right I mean fomenting the demand by giving the supply.

guy is known to be an ass he gets what he deserves. Although I do support drug tests for people getting aid.

I have overheard in english and spanish poor people having kids just to get bigger checks every month though. That is just as disgusting. I lost a job and needed assistance short term. Assistance is good short term but it can also become addictive.

is this the first thread on this?

The hard truths are never politically correct. The government consistently makes the problems worse all in the name of so called "humanity" and vote buying. The bubble is going to burst, no one wants to face it though.

This can easily be remedied by forced sterilization of all folk of below average intelligence.

And yet in another thread, we have people who are okay with the forced sterilization of a woman with 9 children. I guess actions are okay, words are not.

I would have more hope, I guess, if intelligence really mattered. But I am convinced there are many intelligent people in these threads who are irrational idiots about what they believe.

Nothing on this earth justifies dictating to people how many children they can have. Drug tests for welfare recipients I have no problem with.

I agree that you shouldn't violate their human rights (which is what starving them or sterilizing them would do)

...but I am all for structuring incentives in a way that makes having kids a lot less appealing for people that are dysfuncional and can't support them.

It's funny how the very simple and factual concept of dependence is so evil and awful when explained in simple terms. And even more awful when applied to people.

You can hate him all you like, but the creation of dependence in people is EXACTLY the same as it is for all animals. People ARE animals. We aren't gods or extra terrestrials, we evolved here just like everything else.

in fairness, starving the poor WOULD likely lead to reduced numbers of poor people.

in all seriousness the debate would be would there be less poor people because they die or are there less because now they have to work instead of getting free shit. I would guess the latter.
