If you can't afford a child then don't have them. Way too many do for taxes and pell grants.
i see that way too much at work. i work in a really shitty part of town. like it's not uncommon to hear gun shots on any given night. hell i don't even duck anymore i'm so used to it. anyway, it's not uncommon to see some woman, not married mind you, with 6 or 7 kids. sad. see it way to often. they squeeze'em out just to get more $ from the state.

but at the same time not all people are abusing the system.
