Capitalism and Birth Rates

[Back]

Did you know that cost of living is directly related to birth rates? When the cost of living is too high the birth rate drops. This is due to people deciding not to have kids because they can't afford child care costs and education along with other living expenses.

Replacement birthrate is 2.1 children per woman. This keeps the population even. In America it is currently 1.6. Shouldn't we (the government) be focused more on lowering the cost of living for the majority rather than funneling wealth to the top .1% to, you know, keep the human race alive?

Yes, and this is what Republicans have been trying to do and Democrats have been trying to do the exact opposite.

When you let in millions of illegal aliens they are going to drive down wages because the available worker pool is higher. It's this thing that Democrats fail to understand time and time again: supply and demand.

Supply and demand works in the labor force and wages too. A lot of workers competing for fewer jobs = lower wages. Fewer workers competing for a lot of jobs = higher wages.

But Democrats are hellbent on allowing in millions of illegal aliens every year so companies can save money on their labor costs which allows wealth to flow to the top 0.1%.

Please don't reproduce. That's all.

Thankfully, I don't believe we will ever have to worry about that.
