PS: The point here is NOT that poor people shouldn't have kids, it's that no one should be having kids without having the basics of childcare covered, which necessitates widespread systemic, societal, and economic change so that no parent needs to worry about those basics, and kids can grow up in secure, healthy environments. I completely forgot to mention this when I originally posted it, and that's my bad.

Stating that it's fucked up to bring a child into this world that you cannot materially provide for is not billionaire boot licking bullshit. I'm guessing you're one of the poor people that's having kids that you can't materially provide for or you wouldn't be taking it so personally. If you cannot materially provide for your children you're an unfit parent. Why are you advocating for unfit parents to have children? Why do you want children to suffer?

You specifically need to pay higher taxes.
