Why do people who cannot afford kids, keep having more?????!


Question: Why does someone who already has a kid or two, and is on medicaid and food stamps, keep having more??? They act like its no big deal! What kind of life is that for kids? Some people seem to think that getting food stamps and medicaid is just a way of life! Your thoughts?

some do fall upon a negative situation and that is what the system is there for. But their are others unfortunately, the children are not a priority but a commodity for their selfish salvation. some people do have the aforthought that children are there to provide for them/do menial work/cater/slave basically at the parents beck and call. Which is horrid that a child must go through such a task in life.

They want more benefits. It might be that they have nothing else to do or a loneliness or just be bored. People who are educated and have opportunities don't overpopulate.
People that are not educated and don't have opportunities populate because they don't have anything better to do. They don't see what their life could be. I think they lack hope because they are ignorant.

Probably boredom I suspect and in some cases lack of brain power means they never actually figure out that they need to use contraception.

Others I think just do this to get more benefits - know someone who's done that and has 7 kids because after 4 she started to find it was more profitable...!

Not all people that receive government aid feels it's just a way of life.The aid that is giving is to improve families not hold them back some families plain & simple hardly make enough to get by. If they had to take healthcare out of their checks then they'd end up w/nothing & that my dear is a fact. You need to walk in some of these shoes before you get all judgemental on everyone !!

These people should be stopped after 2!!! I think it stinks. They use their children as 'cheques'......the more children you have, the more things you get free........housing, discounts on living, free money and you also get to watch crap TV all day whilst kids are annoying teachers at school....................I've got it all wrong.....working hard and having to pay for everything........I don't really think it's great!!!

They are more commonly known as breaders! Can't help themselves!!!!

They should try contraception (You get that free too)............they obviously don't know that though!

well this sounds a bit like what i did in geogeraphy klast year..

poor people had lots of babies because they know that they wont ALL survive, so they have lots so that theres always someone to look after them when tehyre old and vounerable (sorry if thats spelt wrong)

they also have more babies because they believe that they can send them to work when theyre eight and therefore they will get more money for the families.

bu i think this is in mexico because thats what we were studying when we were discussing it..i know my source isnt that good, but i thought it might help a little bit !

it's this way all over the world. ppl in 3rd world countries have 10 kids, and most of the kids die. when india was poor, they did it, and mexico stopped only recently. having 10 kids was normal in mexico.
i read once about an african who asked an american reporter "why do americans think money makes them rich and not children?"

some animal species have 1 or 2 kids and care for them very well, and others have 10 to 100 kids and even eat their own kids! it's a reproductive strategy, and under darwinism, the ones with the most surviving kids, wins.

so if europeans focus more on having wealth and less on kids and only have 1.2 kids per family, and poor people focus more on having kids and less on wealth, it is quite possible that these large families are the DNA of the future, and that YOUR way is an evolutionary dead-end.
my point is you judge them, but natural selection is always judging everyone -- by how many kids survive and breed. so is the 1.2 kids way really better?

i know how annoying it is to save and save money and build wealth for the kids you will never have, only to have it taken away and given to welfare families. that's wrong. but if the poor ppl *didn't* have welfare, they would *still* have 10 kids. so the welfare question is a different one entirely.

maybe you should stop foccussing so much other other ppl's kids and have some yourself, hmm, so that your dna doesn't vannish off the face of the earth?

Some people seem to think that getting food stamps and medicaid is just a way of life! Maybe they were raised that way, maybe they know how to work the system better than others and keep getting more money, maybe they are just stupid - I don't really know. I do know that there was talk a while back about only giving so much to those who do that (welfare) and at one time about MAKING them get their tubes tied. Some countries prohibit them from having more than one or two kids. Then some people are overly fertile and are afraid to have the operation / tubes tied / and birth control pills don't work and the condom keeps breaking. I don't know. It's different for everyone. I don't have anything against large families - even poor ones, as long as they are taking care of them. I do have a bit of a problem with we as taxpayers paying and paying and paying for them.

good question

People that have no careers focus more on sex while people with careers focus more on their careers. I don't know, maybe they have nothing else to do

Please do more research.... First of all there are all kinds of different situations that force a person into relying on these types of programs.
Anther important thing, is that in if a mother has anther child while receiving aide the child is not entitled to aide... Also, a father is often not in the picture, or paying child support. These are poor single parent mothers trying to feed their children.
These benefits are not enough to come close to feeding a family .You write as if they are getting so much out of the state, and they are not.
God forbid that you ever find yourself in this situation that you need assistance. Be careful not to judge others this quickly. You do not know the circumstances .
no, more children do not give a family more benefits. There are also children who are on SSI who automatically receive health care coverage, same as disabled adults.
Many families are from different countries and are here illegally. They have babies in the US, and the babies get benefits because they are born here. Even when the parents are illegal.
Some families go on those programs while waiting to get a job or disability benefits.
You do not know what their situations are, if you did it would tear your heart out.

They are unintelligent and don't realize the long-term consequences of their actions, and as long as society keeps subsidizing their poverty and ignorance they will keep making bad decisions and taking advantage of the system. There children will then repeat the same patterns throughout their lives and on and on and on, that's why we need to stop the system. No social safety nets!

because they cant afford contraceptives either

it's stupidity and lack of a positive life.
