So my cousins wife works at the church they go to as some children advisor (glorified daycare?) and he is a jr pastor there. They spend $ on clothes and baby shite while making in my estimate 30000. Hate to say it but my cousin may be a government leech and my taxes go to him. Is this a good reason to be pissed that he is wanting a second child?

You can have kids making $30,000 without govt. help. Most people just don't try.

Why would it piss you off? Let him do his thing. Just be ready to tell him to screw off when they come asking to borrow money

Agree. Just you do not get the newest gaming system and phone every year.

There is a plague spreading across America where middle to upper class aren’t having kids because they pay taxes for those of lower classes

Why do you think he's a leech? Is he on welfare? If he is on welfare then yes it is a decent reason. Also makes you a judgmental frick.

they probably make too much for most programs and aren’t getting much or any assistance.

You're angry about everything else, so I see no reason why you shouldn't also be angry about your cousin having a second child.

There's nothing wrong with poor people having children. Being rich or poor doesn't determine how much you love your children or how devoted you are to raising them. You do whatever you want to do as long as it doesn't affect me.

But if you can't afford to feed/clothe/raise your child without government assistance then you shouldn't be having children. Because it's not my responsibility to support your child.

If stupid threads were children, you alone would've killed the planet with overpopulation by now.

I would say that kids from hard working 30k families turn out better the majority of the time than kids from rich families.

If they can’t afford them with their own money then they shouldn’t have them, period.

Mandatory birth control for anyone collecting welfare would solve a lot of issues.

And I doubt the family in the OP is on much welfare if they are making $30K and have one child.

Do you think that people employed by a church don't have to pay income tax? You truly are a dumbshit.

That is not the reason.

BTW while the church's "income" is not taxed the salaries of the employees are.

IDK about the poors, but the obese should not be allowed to reproduce.

30k household income with a child, they aren't paying any taxes anyway probably.
