Yes, I was actually surprised to read race didn't play more into it, which is why it was not part of me being incredulous to bother spending an evening with it. However, I am still incredulous. This doesn't appear to be real research in the sense that the conclusion follows any facts I have ever heard of.
Then feel free to take a look at the facts. Race increasingly is a less relevant factor than behavior in America.
No, they are not. They occupy two completely different socio-economic positions in most cases.
I think you are imposing your personal experiences on the rest of the populace here. By what polling or census data are you breaking the two down?
But forget the fact that many of the childfree serve and extend the life of the next generation, right? All that matters is that people simply breed?
No, and no one has suggested such. As I prefaced in my original post in this thread that you responded to (as I recall): "All things being equal", the childless (or child-free, if you wish) have contributed less. They have not borne the costs of raising the next generation upon whom they will depend in their old age - it's a free rider problem. And, (again) even in the working years the childless tend to be less productive than parents.
