Watched the news the other night and they were talking about this factory that shut down in Chicago and wasn't going to pay its workers what they were owed. My heart goes out to these people and I hope they land on their feet and get what they are owed. After the story they brought on one of the workers from the factory. The guy looked like he may have been 50 or so. I'm not sure how much factory workers make or how responsible this man is with his money, but he said he had 6 kids and 15 grandchildren. Damn! This got me to thinking how was he going to take care of his. Then I was like why would you have that many kids unless you working on a farm or something.
This led me to thinking about what if we took a hint from China and limited the number of kids people can have. Maybe we could put financial and educational criteria limits in relation to how many children you can have. Now I don't mean that any one can't have kids. I think everyone who wants to have a child is more than welcome to because kids are a blessing (and a terror at times). And stupid people can have kids too. But hey, if you are having trouble taking care of your three kids and are on welfare or some form of government assistance maybe you shouldn't have anymore. Some of us should stop at one. If you don't have the means and time to take care of the kids then why are you having more? Especially if they then become a burden on society. So until you are self sufficient to take care of what you have, you should be spayed or neutered. Let's start fighting poverty that way. Stable being that you can provide a home, clothes and food for your child on your own! Some people have to be protected from themselves.
I know this is a crazy thought and I don't "really" feel this way although I wouldn't be out protesting the idea, but it kind of urks me when I see someone down on their luck walking around pregnant or with 3 and 4 kids. Love is not enough to raise a child. It is not America's job to take care of every child someone brings into this country. And heck if you have been fixed and later get on your feet and want more kids, ADOPT! Too many unfortunate kids out their stuck in that system now anyways.

Ok, have to say something about this one. You assume that all people with kids that are down on their luck were also down on their luck when they had their kids? And along with that it seems you are proposing they just stop having sex because that is the only way to guarantee they don't get or cause anyone to get pregnant. Grand idea...
Okay, you are really looking at this one sided as if life doesnt throw you curve balls. In a perfect world people plan to have kids when they are married and financially stable.Not reality. Most pregnancy are not planned,and most are to unwed mothers. So should 18-25yr olds get spayed and Neutered too? I guess when they finish college and become successful they will have to adopt. Bright idea. Financial status can change in a blink of in eye-accidents, health problems anything. In this day jobs are being lost everyday. Ceo's ,VP's, what do you tell them. Im sure their are a lot of people who need assistance with the high rate of layoffs. This would never work. No one has the right to tell someone when they can or can not have children. Who would make the decision of what requirements that would have to be met that would make an adult suitable for being a parent. Does having money make you a more suitable parent than someone who doesnt make as much? Money should not be the main factor of weather a person should have a child or not.
