Its not about poverty or education, the problem is we have subsidies for breeding children with these problems. We're PAYING to have a problem get worse. The issue is that we need to pay for education of the poor, not for the excessive breeding of the poor. Capping a tax benefit at 2 children would help. We have free contraceptives in poor areas, but when the result of not using them is a tax write-off that in 4 years will start bringing you your beer when you want it, why use them? Its not simply the poor that are breeding, its the system abusers that eventually will out-breed the rest in a system so prone to it as this. Further, a penalty for fly-by-night fathers would help as well.
