"They" should put a ban on people writing posts when they do not know how to spell, capitalize, or use punctuation correctly.

If State governments didn't work so hard at making access to abortion and family planning so difficult for poor people, there probably wouldn't be so many kids.

I was going to use quotation marks around it because I actually agree with you, however I forgot.

It just blows my mind that when Romney ran for president and released his taxes that his effective tax rate was so low. Even then we paid a higher rate than him and in the last four years we've actually moved up another bracket. That just seems incredibly backwards to me.

Yes, a very valid position to take.

Ok.....

Now, if only people would stop impeding abortions. That would be the very first and basic step yet people can't even agree upon that!

Something should be done about the failing parents. If parents were actually being good parents, their children could excel in any school system. Teachers shouldn't have to coax students into wanting to learn. That's the job of the parents because ultimately the parents are supposed to be their children's role model not their best friend or favorite play buddy.

Who cares what you think... opinions are like... well, you know the saying. Your analysis of the issue is uninformed. Most poor people I know only have a few kids, or none at all. In fact it's a myth that poor people are having a lot of children at the expense of others.

What does that have to do with essentially paying poor people to have more kids?

Nobody here is saying to restrict the amount of children one can have, we're just saying you won't be rewarded by it.

So we should assume you are/are planning to claim 0 dependents on your tax filings, right?
