So how would you punish these "parents"? How are you going to stop people from having children they can't afford?
Hold them accountable. If you're on the government dole and you have another child - you're required by law to show up every day to perform 10 hours of community service. Cleaning parks and highways. Repairing roads. Mowing public property. Plowing public property, etc. You don't show up - you get a prison sentence which includes working 10 hours per day on a "chain gang". Instead of paying for all of those things (as tax payers do now), the money goes to support the children that these parents can't.
This isn't rocket science.
What about birth control? Maybe if a person is going to collect social services for a child, they should be prevented from having more until they are no longer receiving tax payer dollars?
I would be the first to vote to have men undergo a vasectomy and women undergo a a tubal ligation if they prove not responsible enough to care for their children.
Anybody can certainly experience some unfortunate situation
after having children but to
continue having children while in poverty is inexcusable.
Unless, of course, that liberals will agree to restore Constitutional government. If I don't have to pay for everyone else to have a big party on my dime, I don't care how many children they have.
