I have a question... I've seen this over and over and over again. Why does poor or needy people always have a dozen of children. Obviously they cannot provide for them like they're supposed to. And when you look at rich people, they have bearly any kids. Why is that?

because having all those children made them poor taken care of children cost alot of money.i think the real reason is maybe the lack of education and enviroment and life styles .i think maybe some people start out ok with a little money and there always seems to be some need when you have children eventually things can really pile up.but yea i do think that some people do play on the system which is sad for the kids and our country.

You are right, children are a big responsiblitity, and they do cost a lot of money. I myself have a daughter. But why do they keep on making children if they know they really cannot affort it? But yes I aggree with you.

The difference between the two are that the morals of the poor needy people vs. the rich people. Morals were not obviously instilled well in the poor rich needy people and also probably because they feel they can get over on the system by having more children than less. It's called, using the system and in my opinion it's also using your children. The rich are just plain greedy, they know if they have more children it's going to cost them more money and why do that when they can have all the money to themselves as long as they don't have big families.

I totally agree with you, but this is sad. Espessially for the children.And now they teach them the wrong morals and they again will pass it on to their children, so it's a never ending chain.

Most of the poor and the needy family have no sense of responsibility.they just do things without even thinking what they are doing.No wonder they get poorer and poorer.i don't believe that they want lots of children when they know they cant provide for them.lots of children are being born unplanned.mostly, among the poor & the needy people.
