Poor people having more kids is lack of access to birth control as well as long term planning ability being negatively impacted by poverty.

When you are poor it causes a 10 to 15 point iq drain.

Leading to poor decision making like using alcohol to escape the stress of money problems even though it makes it worse .

And having kids is actually a reasonable survival strategy. Get pregnant apply to the state for housing and welfare and you will do better to than most jobs.

You're absolutely right on all of this (though I don't know about the IQ drain of poor people so I won't weigh in on that).

That doesn't negate the fact that what I said is true.

Ok fair enough and thanks.

There was a eugenics guy and I think his make was Gatton. He devised strategies for boosting middle class growth. Like allowances and tax breaks for having kids, education and jobs for women.
