I have some pretty strong views on kids and the state/fed paying for things.

1. I don't think you should get a tax credit for anything over 2 kids. Give people tax breaks for the first 2. If they want more than that, they better be able to afford them. Too many people are reckless, they should not be rewarded with money from other tax payers for having more kids they can't afford.

2. I think parenting should be planned. I need a permit to put a deck off the back of my house. I think I should also need to permit to have a kid. You should have to have a suitable home and be in a position to have a kid. If someone gets knocked up, prior to having a permit pulled, one could be pulled after, but they have to be in compliance with the application or be with in a year. Accidents happen, but they should not happen 3,4 or 5 times. Everyone should be entiled to have a few kids.

3. I also think people should loose their kids easier. It's very hard for the state to get a kid out of a bad environment. It takes many many complaints. If the government spent 50% of what they do on making sure I don't get my t-bol from Thailand on a planned parenting program, we'd have to support 75% less dirt balls.

Not everyone is rich, you don't have to be rich to be a good parent. But if you want to be a parent, you better be able to afford to raise that kid. No one else should have to pay for what you want. If you want it enough, you find a way to afford it.
