Tell that to people in Zambia and Liberia.

Oh even earning more, we are still making much less than other countries. It is very sad that we have accepted this low pay way of life for our country.

urbanlife78" Should the government take away their children because they can no longer afford to have them?"

If it is for an extensive period of time, yes.

Courageous parents who truly loved their kids gave them up 80 years ago. Kids are not prizes awarded to breeders. The right to parent brings responsibilities.

You can keep your tax dollars, sounds like you need them more than I do. I would prefer if you stuck to the topic. No one should be losing any freedoms because of their income level, that is just absurd.

Median household income - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


or


List of countries by average wage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maybe you should edit the wikipedia on both countries since you seem to know better.

What? You seriously think the government should take away someone child if they don't make enough even if they lost their job? Do I still live in the US? Because this sounds like some serious government overreaching....

Everyone should be responsible 100% for those they breed. No one is a parent when they create kids they cannot afford-at the time of conception. They are simply breeding. Their actions are 100% selfish-the opposite of what a parent should be.
