[Vision2020] Government and babies

[bear at moscow.com]

Jennifer,

I really think Donovan has struck on a great idea!  Government permission would cause an 
objective look at the potential parents and ask the question, "Should they be allowed have
a 
baby"? I think we can all site examples of people that shouldn't. 

And this also clears up the funding issues of schools. YOU decide to have a baby, the 
government approves, and YOU get taxed accordingly to fund education K thru 12. In other 
words, YOU had a baby, YOU pay for them to be educated, and keep your hands out of the 
pockets of those that choose not to have babies that need educated. IF you are one of the 
approved "parents", and don't think the education is adequate or that there needs to be
more 
money put into  K-12 education, just reach into YOUR OWN pocket and kick in, or the 
legislature will increase the education taxes to the approved baby makers! 

If you don't drive, the gas taxes don't effect you directly, if you don't smoke, tobacco
taxes 
don't effect you, so why should someone having a baby be able to spread the wealth (or
pain) 
of raising that child on the rest of the tax paying public?


Ironic isn't it *S*
