You're making the asusmption that I have an obligation to contribute to society. I don't, no more than I am obliged to bet when I have +ev.

...and by spending your money in an economy full of other taxpaying citizens.
You go further. Not only am I obliged to work to pay tax, I am also obliged to consume.

Do you not see the problem here? In your world, a baby is a future taxpayer and consumer. That's a very bleak world, one in which I don't want to live.

In America, almost 70% of kids born into the bottom 20% ascend out of that quintile.
That means over 30% don't. And by what standard is this statistic measured? What does "out of that quintile" mean? Working for minimum wage?

Bitches do that to men that they want to support them all the time, not government though. Men are easier targets, and generally provide more money than a government benefit program.
I think this is a culture class. I am certain that in my town alone, there are lots of people who have children as a career choice.

Show me the number then
-74.5623

I mean what do you really want from me? Who do you suppose is conducting polls around the streets of Britian, asking women with pushchairs if they had kids just so they could claim benefits? Watch Jeremy Kyle, that will give you an idea of the kind of people in the UK that are living on benefits.
