Why do brown people have so many kids?
Disclaimer: This isn't only for "brown" people, it could be for white trash also:
Because they're incentivized to. Not only have we stopped evolution from progressing, we've also ensured the worst genes are passed first in the greatest amounts. It's unfathomable to me how most people support policy that is contributing to our demise and lower quality of life.

Well that's what happens when the top 20% own over 85% of the wealth in America. You can't force poor ppl to not have babies just because they are poor.
Seriously?
I've never understood why you are considered greedy if you want to keep the money you have earned, but you are not considered greedy if you want the money other people earned.

It might not seem like lots to you, but it seems like plenty to the poor taxpayers who has to absorb a greater share of the load each year.

Idiocracy
If you incentivize being poor and stupid, people will be poor and stupid. Who woulda thunk?

Well that's not true. There isn't a infinite amount of wealth to go around.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but that's already happening.

You know how many of those states in top 5 are in the south? These are Republican run states that have very conservative policies in general.
Perhaps we should not try and blame the left all the time when most of the issues are in poor and economically depressed states. How about you improve education, access to contraception, and the economy in those states first.
You guys make it out to be this big left vs right issue, but in reality if the majority of these states weren't going bankrupt from poor local and state governance there wouldn't be so many people having children on medicaid.

While I agree that the illegitimate births aren't confined to one group of people, there is one side that exploits it most and that is the Dems. That's not debatable.

I'd say rampant illegitimate child births is also a sign of a failing nation.

Rampant? I think you need to check to birth rate number, dog.
Yesterday the federal government released its latest figures on births in the United States, including out-of-wedlock births. The numbers are very close to last year’s: 72.3 percent of non-Hispanic blacks are now born out-of-wedlock; 66.2 percent of American Indians/Alaska Natives; 53.3 percent of Hispanics; 29.1 percent of non-Hispanic whites; and 17.2 percent of Asians/Pacific Islanders. That’s 40.7 percent overall: a disaster.

These numbers are from 2012. I would be willing to bet it is worse, now. Good news! Sex Education is working!

Well yes. I don't disagree with that. I said the top 5-10 are mostly conservative states with poor economies and conservative policies. California and NY are 18 and 19 i believe.

I'd characterize that as rampant!

So the 80% of the population holding only 15% of the wealth are all black? Learn something new everyday.

What do you define as exploiting it?

Oh please. Not even close. I'm not asking for the parents to have a 529 plan established before they decide to have kids.
Cost of a routine delivery is around $3-5k cash pay. If you can't save that up over a few years before you want to have a child, I'm of the opinion that your priorities aren't in line with what it takes to raise one.

I call exploiting; trying to increase welfare roles, encourainging out of wedlock births, encouraging illegal immigration and promising them benefits, encouraging and seeking things like free healthcare and college tuition, etc.

What in the hell does "out of wedlock" births have to do with the overall birth rate?
So you guys not only want poor ppl to not produce you also want more ppl to ascribe to your Christian lifestyle and how you believe ppl should live
