It’s not that there are too many people, it’s that they are not propoerly distributed. It often seems that the people who are least able to provide for their children have the most kids. But as long as they can adequately provide for their family, why should you care? The US may grow 40% over the next 45 years, but it’s not because we are having too many babies. The fertility rate of native born Americans is actually falling and is currently just above rate needed to maintain the population at current levels. The reason the US population continues to grow is because of imigration and longer life spans. If you eliminated imigration and you limited families to a maximum of 2 children, you would not achieve zero population growth, you would have a drastic decline in population due to the fact that so many people have only one or no children. Several Western European countries (including those ‘religiously brainwashed’ Catholic Italians)already have negative population growth. These countries will soon have trouble supporting their elderly pensioners because there will not be enough young workers paying into the social welfare system. When you see a large family, remember that you are looking at the future workers, taxpayers, and service providers that will keep you going in your old age. The best part is you get to benifit from them and someone else is doing all the work raising them. All you have to do is kick in a little tax money for schools. That’s nothing compared to the hours and dollars their parents provided. So, count your blessings and quit your bitching. By the way, I only produced two children in my lifetime.
