I'd say that we just go with norplants delivered via sniper rifles, starting with the people of walmart.
If the Birth Permissions will be lunched than probably only for Muslim Immigrants.
First of all, that would be gender discrimination, since you are only requiring mothers to attend such a class and not the fathers.
Second of all, people would never go for a pass or fail mandatory parenting class because the government should not be allowed to mandate to people how they should be raising their children. Protecting children from abuse is one thing, but requiring that people know how to raise their children "the right way" is wrong.
Social welfare, overpopulation, resource scarcity, ethnic map, etc. Do you think they can or must result in a "birth permit", i.e. the state dictating demographics in exchange of welfare, for example? :mrgreen: Could it be direct (license) or indirect (taxation) permit?
Should criminals, drug addicts, hobos, etc be allowed to have children?
Are we headed that direction? I mean, China already implemented something like this (heavy taxation for a second child) due to huge population and scarce territory. Please, share your thoughts.
The best way to prevent reckless childbearing is to stop subsidizing it.
ALL welfare programs that pay for any form of it should be REPEALED.
Also there should be no tax breaks for having kids even if you are not on welfare; that's subsidizing. Also, can we make it so only parents pay for public schools then? Cause we subsidize the funding of those from everyone. Also being married should not get you a break on things like mortgage and such.
I don't agree with the suggestion on education. Having educated children benefits everybody. The better educated they are, the more they will make, the more they will contribute taxes to programs that benefit the entire population. We have a vested interest in somebody else's child succeeding in school.
In all honesty, I do agree with you on this case. I do believe that a well educated populace is a necessity to a free state. However, on the general comment of end all subsidies, I brought forth various other subsidies which are currently used by married folk.
