I've actually thought about it and I think
@CaptainObvious is actually on to something. I think anyone who spend more than 10 consecutive years paying zero income tax while taking advantage of public roads and sidewalks, police and fire protection, public education, a safe environment provided by a military....all payed for by my taxes AND who believes that those who don't contribute by using public resources should be sterilized should definitely themselves be sterilized. Even more so if they spent those 10 years not paying for their food or housing and instead either depending on someone else who was legally obligated to provide that or being provided that directly by a taxpayer funded entity. So
@CaptainObvious, you spent the first 10 and probably 18 or more years of your life as one of these leeches on society (if you're even 18 yet) and you believe in forced sterilization for that type of person...you're first up in the spay or neuter line!
It would do us all a favor. Most Americans don't mind having a few more kids in the inner city but pretty much no-one likes being around hypocritical, pretentious, selfish pricks who mistakes all the things they received purely by mistake of birth as some kind of personal accomplishment.
Aren't we witty? Seems I struck a nerve offering a solution to a problem created and exacerbated by leftist policies. Let's discuss, you guys always say we must have this "conversation", right? But first some enlightening history.
The liberals who loved eugenics - The Washington Post

A simple search will reveal a long and storied history of leftist supporting population control, most all of it considerably more extreme than what I offered. Nowhere in my post did I suggest sterilization be based purely upon race, skin color, education or economic background as most of the liberal policies have advocated for. My suggestion was based on behavior, repeated behavior. Let's review.
I suggested that far too many women and men are having children that they cannot support. First time, okay, anyone can make a mistake, a civil and humane society offers financial assistance to raise that child. No problem. Second child comes to the same person. Okay, a civil and humane society offers financial assistance to raise that child as well. The question now becomes, how many times will we continue to do this? Will we continue to incentivize this irresponsible behavior? We should not IMO.
Apparently you think this terribly inhumane. May I ask how do you square up the humanity of abortion throughout every stage of pregnancy up to and including the birth of a child? Might I also ask how you rationalize the humanity of KNOWING that these children being born will most likely be abused, neglected, abandoned to the streets in the very early stages of their lives? They will be living a life most of us could not endure for a long weekend. You're okay with this, but horrified at sterilization?
This is a problem that is growing, isn't going away, and we aren't doing these children any favors by continuing to incentivize this behavior. It is after all, "about the children", right? You have something other than some childish snarky insult, let's hear it. Something, anything, people are desperate.
This evening I am going to a recovery center for drug and alcohol abuse. This one is near the southside of Chicago. Most of the residents will be people of color, damn near every one of them poor and uneducated. I will offer them some hope, some inspiration, some idea of a better life. Tomorrow I will go to another, they'll be mostly white. Saturday I will go to another with a woman that comes along, most of the patients will be women. I've been doing this week after fucking week, month after fucking month, year after fucking year, decade after fucking decade for better than 30 years. I see first hand the result of these leftist policies which create more and more poverty. Certainly this drug addiction has deeper roots than poverty, like big pharma basically becoming fucking drug cartel with Oxy and other prescription drugs, and a society that basically gives little more than lip service to providing anything other than a quick detox as a solution, but poverty damn sure exacerbates the issue.
Now I know the left is desperate to build that base of voters. My question is how many lives will they ruin to build it? How long will you offer them your support?
So again, if you have a solution other than throwing money at it and incentivizing the irresponsible behavior, I'm ready to hear it. If all you and the others have are threats and insults, save it, I got work to do in the trenches. What are you holier than though types doing tonight? Did you even take the time to read this far before formulating your response?
