173. If they have no impact, then why do you insist on removing them???
You're confusing two separate questions. Question 1: Do subsidies encourage people to have more children? Answer 1: There is no evidence that this is the case. Question 2: Does reducing the amount of resources available to raise a child negatively impact that child's life? Answer 2: *******Absofuckinglutely!*******. Do you see now why your post doesn't make any logical sense?

Since I added it as an edit, I'll reiterate this additional point: Your proposal is particularly egregious considering the people who will suffer the most from such a proposal are poor kids. Rich people who have more kids than you personally deem fit won't suffer. Isn't that swell? So, take away resources from children who particularly need them the most, for some supposed benefit that isn't even shown to exist! Not only is it about as opposite from progressive as you can get, but it is flat out dumb.
