Why People that Don’t Want Children Have Children?

Got that free. Self publish.

I need ways to make this catchy. I am concerned about human happiness.

Why should people that do not want children have children?  In fact, why should anyone that doesn’t want anything have that thing?

That one is obvious. Here is what’s not obvious. How do we measure how much we want something? The objective way is to measure the amount of money people are willing to pay for that thing.

Government hurt the poor. Poor people that postpone making children will get less redistribution of wealth and actually taxed to support those who do.

Some Possible Solutions

Simple.

Let individuals decide how much they want to spend for their women (or men?) and children.

If a billionaire want to spend $100 million for 10 kids, it’s his right. If he wants to spend “only” $1 million or $100k for each kid, and produce 1000 kids instead, it’s also his right as long as the future mom also agree. Let the parents decide.

If government has a say it should be some minimal amount applicable equally to everyone or adjusted by kids’ need. Parents’ financial capability is irrelevant.

Biggest Market Distortion

Rich men have more houses, more cars, more yachts, but less kids. Why?

Simple. It costs far more for a rich man to produce and maintain kids than for the poor. The same car cost the same to the rich and the poor. The same house cost the same for the rich and the poor. Yet breeding and raising a kid is far costlier for the rich than the poor.

Some of the costs are natural. Rich men do want to spend more money for their children. However, a child need is limited. Once you spend $1 million per child, there’s probably nothing else you can do to make that kid any happier or more prepared to get rich and successful in real world.
