My point was giving men an opportunity to not pay child support doesn't lead to men being more responsible.
What you're talking about now is unrelated. I'll atleast agree there should be a cap on how high child support can be. Certainly no one should get rich off it.

My point wasn't that. I said that if it wasn't the case, then those who make their living off of alimony and child support wouldn't have those incomes and thus would have been more likely to choose abortion. I didn't say that it made men more responsible.

How many people really make their living that way? I don't think its a huge problem.
Frankly, I wish more women would make a living that way. We'd see less people on food stamps. Instead too many get knocked up by dead beats.

Those living off of child support have no real income and would without question would be assumed to have food stamps as well.
|
But maybe if they had some big bucks coming in from child support we'd have less people relying on the government to get by.
They should teach this to girls in school. Only get knocked up by guys with lots of money. It'll save the country.

No. Just no. A woman (or more accurately, any person) should not be able to reach financial security just from getting knocked up. The money a parent receives from child support is supposed to go fully into the child; the parent should not benefit from it at all.
And even with your suggestion, people would still be relying on the government to get by. They'd be relying on the government to take away someone else's hard earned money and to transfer it to them. How is that fair?
