So how am I supposed to interpret that? That lack of money causes child abuse?

There is no price tag on children, it's not like buying a car. I can't tell you how much money I've spent on my kids or how much will I ever spend on them

We're all dependent on the government, like it or not. If you want to be truly independent, go off the grid. There's no one foot in one foot out, hokey pokey stuff.

Demographers are keeping track of birth rates everywhere. If there are redundant people at all, more people than resources, that equals overpopulation. At the onset of civilization about 5,000 years ago, the reconstructed estimate of human population of the entire planet was less than twice the current population of NYC. A more accurate estimate of the entire human population in the Middle Ages was about 2/3 of the current population of the US. The entire human population was less than 1.5 billion in 1900, about 3-3.5 billion when I was a kid in the 1960s, and is close to 8 billion now. That is extremely unnatural.

In 5 out of 6 cases of child abuse in the US, the household where the abuse is happening is poor. Interpret that any way you want.
