When people have multiple children that they can't afford to raise, we working taxpayers end up paying for the cost of raising these children.
Then we have to ask the question why people cannot afford to have as many children as they want, what really prohibits a husband/wife from having 2,3 or even 10 children?
Obiviously without procreation the human race is dead. So we are now ok with allowing the choice of who gets to "go forward," so to speak?

I am simply advocating for people to be responsible before they decide to have children

Then we also have to ask the question why people cannot afford to have as many luxury cars as they want, what really prohibits a husband/wife from having 2, 3 or even 10 Porsches? After all, a Porsche costs much, much less than raising a child. I believe the answer is that Porsches are expensive to make, and the majority of people are not capable of performing such valuable services for other people that can be bartered for 10 Porsches (or for resources needed to raise 10 children).
Obviously the human race has procreated far beyond its resources for survival, to the point of destroying its own habitat, and THAT is why human race will be dead in several hundred years, when the oceans completely envelope the earth. The human race has never been in danger of being dead from non-procreation in the known history or pre-history. There are almost 8 billion people in the world right now, which is about 7 billion more than is optimal for the human race with respect to its natural and artificial resources.
I really don't care how many kids anyone wants to have, as long as nobody is asking me to support their kids. Taxpayers should not be asked to support other people's kids. Procreation is a private matter, as long as parents are not asking for money, or dumping their kids on the society to raise them. I don't have an interest in somebody else's genetic material "going forward" (or even my own, for that matter :-), so why should I be required to fund that?

When only one species is left to survive........ extinction of that species is guaranteed.

A child is neither a Porsche nor a commodity of any kind but rather a person whose care is the right and responsibility of each couple and then more broadly of society. Taxpayers are asked to fund everything from nuclear weapons to street paint to animal shelters, because that's how any functioning human society works. And, frankly, from education to health departments you're already "paying for" other people to have kids. The entire "don't make me pay for your kids" meme is an empty soapbox because not only are you already paying for a billion things less important than children but you're actually already paying for children, too

Couldn't have said it any better

Opinion:
Agreed.
Let's not lose focus. The post asked if a family with 3 children can make it on $75,000 a year in N.Y.C.
not if a family with three children can make it on $75,000 a year in N.Y.C. along side of government subsidies.
No one gets any handouts on $75k per yr. None.
$6k per month is not poor,according to HRA or any other programs. Not even food stamps.
All that "my tax dollars " bs, oh brother.your taxes contribute to .00002 % of the economy, if that much.
Comfortable living? $200,000 per year affords a nice home mortgage, or bigger apartment and being able to save $$$ ,have 2 cars ,go on 2 vacays per year.
