...you have a problem with Wakmart selling condoms for 30 cents each.
Nope. Sell away.

You think affluent white folks are the only ones who should have kids ?
Oh, for F's sake. You are SO blind as to what your party, and YOUR ideas have done to America.
Reopublicans are the guys telling Americans to "be responsible for your own finances an decisions", while health care costs, daycare, and the costs of raising a child have skyrocketed. So American working class has two choices: have fewer or no kids, or live in poverty on government assistance. Your "solution" is to shut up and get more jobs.
For the last several decades, the Republican party has:
You've fought raising minimum wage, or tying it to inflation.
You've fought to dismantle Unions, gutting middle class earnings for working class.
You've fought against the same single-payer .gov health care every other 1st world nation enjoys, making it financially impossible for the poor and working to have kids in the "financially responsible" manner you claim to champion, so our birth rate has fallen off a cliff.
You've opened up borders to trade, pushing (dropping) US working class wages toward the global mean.
You've cut taxes for corporations and the rich, gutting the Treasury, and forcing us to borrow SO much money that our payment on interest alone dwarfs what we spend Educating and Training our children and adults.
You've fought for the status quo on immigration and Visa programs, keeping badly needed payroll taxes and income taxes out of the US Treasury.
You've fought against .gov-paid daycare for the working class, giving them a fighting chance to have kids while working.
You've fought nonstop wars overseas based on ThinkTank theories, instead of solely defending America's actual land, or the lands of our NATO allies. Gutting our Treasury, and blowing it on pointless wars, instead of investing in our people.
....this is all your party, OS. So either you're in the wrong party, voting for the wrong policies, or you don't care about what you've done to America's working class.
So to answer your silly question? YOU are the one who thinks that only the rich should have kids. And every single policy Republicans like you have championed and passed into law has made the birth rate fall off a cliff.
I JUST told you that Colorado ran a program handing out free contraception..and the result was that abortions were cut in half. You trundled right over this , as usual, and have no interest in facts that support programs you don't like.

Why are you ranting about SNAP ? You think it only feeds poor, unwanted kids ?
Where the F do you think the majority of SNAP funds go, OS. Please, tell the class.
It's because the rich have access to full health care for women. Why do you think out of State abortions are WAY up in Colorado, OS? Because the rich send their kids to Colorado to get around laws that their bassakwards States, run by religious nutjobs, have passed of late.
You either don't care, or are too daft to understand, that aaaallllllll of the above Republican policies stick it to the American working class. Pick one.
Your policies is why my family and allllll my wife's liberal friends who hold advanced degrees are pulling MILES away from America's working class.
If you don't care? Fine by me. Keep it up! Keep screwing America's working class, and let them fall further and further behind.
You're going to read this, realize once again how wrong you are....and instead of conceding the point that Republican policy sticks it to America's workforce, you're gonna "blah blah blah"m me. Or call it a rant.
You're unable to have a civilized discussion, because every time you think you've lost an argument, or supported ideas that your fellow posters show you are clearly not working......you run away and hide, instead of addressing the actual subjects at hand.
