If you honestly believe in taking anyone's voting rights, I wish you would stop calling yourself a liberal. You soil the term each time you use it.

Actually, we don't even need to pay people monthly. Just offering $2000 in exchange for voluntary sterilization would be enough.
And then what? Do you give them jobs, education, training or do they just remain poor with no capacity for bearing children? What's to stop them from adopting a child or raising a relative's child?

Make part of the deal no raising kids. We would have social workers check in on them.

Because they would vote to divvy up your money a lot faster than what they are doing now.

No one is saying we have all the answers. No doubt the idea of the OP will need lots of debugging and patchings.

So you are just doing the same thing as "the government" , giving people money to sit around and do nothing.

Correction. Give them money to prevent them from producing more people who will be dependent on the system. As I said before, the result won't be seen for at east a generation. But I think it will be worth it.

Incorrect. We would be cutting off the perpetual culture of poverty because those people don't breed anymore.
