Guest blogger Elizabeth: It may not be politically correct to actually say this out loud -- but all I want in this year is for poor people to stop having kids.
I'm not talking about banning all lower income people from having children. I'm talking about banning people who are on any kind of state assistance from having any additional children until they can stand on their own feet.
For example, if you're a single mother or a couple, who fall on hard times and need to go on welfare to pay for food and other essentials, then you should be banned from having any more children until you are back on your feet. Or, if you already have three children and you are in subsidized housing, receiving food stamps or on disability of any kind, you it should be illegal to have more children.
Now this isn't just for me and all the taxpayers who have to foot the bill for all these people and their kids, it for the children themselves. There is nothing wrong with growing up "poor" but when parents can't even afford the bare neccesities, then that is NO WAY for children to live. It's bad enough that there are already kids in the family -- why bring more into it? It's just not right.
"How" you ask, "are we supposed to stop people from having children?" Well, I have the answer plain and simple ... mandatory birth control for all the people over 18 who are using the state assistance. Yup, that's right, I said it (and I meant it) we should put all women above 18 (maybe even 14) on Norplant (the implantable birth control that last about five years at a time) or they should have IUDs inserted.
I know exactly what your next questions are going to be: 1. What about the men? 2. Who's going to pay for all this?
Luckily for you, I have the answers to both questions for you as well. As for the men, until there is a viable method of birth control for males of the species, the only real option would be to sterilize them. Personally, I am all for that -- especially for those males who are habitually or repeatedly draining the system.
On a side note, I also happen to be all for mandatory sterilization of all male (and female) prisoners. Now, I'm not talking about sterilizing people who are arrested once for dealing or possessing drugs -- I'm talking about stopping all murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members (be they Crips, Bloods, Aryan nation, whatever) from procreating. I mean, that seems completely reasonable to me -- after all, people who hate raise children who hate -- and who needs more of that in the world?
Now when people on state assistance are able to get off and start taking care of themselves then the Norplant or IUD will be removed -- and if they find themselves back in a position where they need help, then they will have to go back on the birth control.
As for prisoners -- I think that their birth control should be permanent -- tubal ligation for the woman and vasectomies for the men. There should be severe consequences for committing crimes against humanity -- and I think this is it.
As for who is going to pay for this ... we are, with our taxes, just the same way we pay for it all now. The only difference will be that we won't have to pay for the next generation of lazy, hapless, losers who live their lives taking and never giving anything back to society.
