The trouble is, population excess isn't good for the environment, etc.
They will need a whole landfill for themselves just to get rid of the
diapers. Excessively large families are a burden to schools. They don't
pay any more school tax for one kid, than they do for 16, but the
burden on the system is 16 times greater.
A 16-kid family is an anomaly. Doesn't matter whether it's a liberal or
conservative family. Yes, if every family had 16 kids we would have to
build a lot more schools and raise taxes substantially to fund them.
For every family that has more than the politically correct two kids,
there's a large number of offsetting households that choose to remain
childless, often in order to acquire greater amounts of more expensive
consumer goods.
Having kids is like marriage. The state needs to keep its nose out of
it.
How can anyone say "The state has no right to tell homo. couples that
they cannot form a household with the same legal status as a het.
couple" and then turn around and declare, "The state has some business
dictating how many kids a couple can have, when they can have them,
what they should name them, etc."?
We just need to leave people alone to live out their lives if they're
not really hurting somebody else. Let the churches decide who can
participate in the religious sacrament of marriage and let individual
couples decide how many kids they want to have.
Personally, I think having 16 kids is just plain wrong and I doubt that
the kids get the type of quality individual attention that they might
need to grow up to be healthy and productive adults......but that's my
personal opinion and the right of people to decide to have anywhere
from zero to as many kids as they can crank out of the womb before it
shuts down should be respected, not criticized.
As long as society does not have to support the family via welfare, it is
totally their choice. Stupid choice IMO, but it is their choice. I argued
years ago, that the child deduction on taxes should be 3-4 kids. I had a
neighbor with 10 kids, he made probably the same amount as me, but I paid a
lot more taxes as we had zero children at the time. A lot more. It did
cost more than the $600 credit to raise the children, but that should be his
choice.
