I'm asking if we should require licenses to have children, with those who can't afford children without government assistance not allowed to. If you had children illegally, you would either have some kind of penalty if you could manage or your child would be given to a relative or the state. I can see many advantages to doing this.



- Much fewer welfare payments



- Much less crime



- Much better educational outcomes/less behavioral disturbances in school



- Better for the economy/higher gdp per capita due to less welfare and other economic advantages



- More globally competitive



- Likely a genetic eugenic effect; with a smarter population and all that entails



I don't refer to forced sterilization, or to deliberately targeting any certain ethnic group. I think we should have a parental licensing program like you need to drive a car, and you would have to pass a test and meet a certain income threshold to prove you can take care of a child without government and ideally even charitable assistance. I think that the first nation to implement a program like this or some other eugenic program will quickly become the best/most competitive in the world. For those who would tell me there's a chance I'll be not allowed to have children/sterilized, I can honestly tell you I would be willing to be sterilized to further the cause of eugenics if I could eventually adopt children.
