basically this. i dont like paying taxes, i dont like a lot of what my taxes to towards. but thats life, i can deal with it.

what i really dont want is a government so powerful and intrusive that it can detain you, transport you to some government compound/clinic and perform surgery on you against your will because thats what the government has deemed is required for its idea of what society should be.

thats a really crazy idea for a site like this and frankly i think this is a troll thread which is ok, i get bored sometimes too.

I believe the thread is over. We have established that people who work and make rational decisions based on their needs, assets and incomes should be forced at gunpoint to support the irrational and selfish decisions of others. We have further established that any person who makes rational decisions and opposes being forced to support the decisions of the irrational, or seeks to compel the irrational to behave in a way that does not interfere with the rational, is a supporter of genocide.

Most happily, we have identified those who believe it is just and right that those who tend to their own affairs be enslaved to those who do not.

Right now we are basically paying a portion of society to breed. They know the more kids,they have, the more they get in welfare.  Cap the amount they get,or even decrease it for every child they have and it will slow this shit down...

It should be clear that they do not have that right, but that they will have that ability under a generous welfare state.

Just change the welfare legislation. Shrink government, don't give them more power. Certainly don't give them any power to force sterilization.

Totally. So you can either kick in ten percent of the budget to keep them from starving (or, more likely, rioting and looting food and other portable things), or you start aborting babies, or you can start permanently mutilating people, or...

Which policy option do you hate the least? It's all bad, which one is the least bad?

Let's be clear here: that's going to happen no matter what. That's never going to ever change, ever, not as long as you or I live. One way or the other, a man with a gun is going to get a proportion of the product of your labor and he's going to do stuff with it. We don't have to like it, but that's what's up. The question before us is whether it's a cool idea for the guy with the gun to spend a bunch of that money mutilating your countrymen in the hopes of recouping that investment later in reduced welfare outlays.

More so than the .gov has the right to use permanent, involuntary sterilization.

Eugenics was used widely in this country in the past, ironically for better civic reasons than you bring up. Not only did it not work out, in the best of review, the concept was abused to rediculas ends..

Most of the ideas Hitler used in the holocaust, he learned from experiments attempted in this country in the late 19th - early 20th century's. All our own citizens, but considered less than 'normal'. No recourse or appeal on the victims part. Just gathered up & done.

welp.. lets break this down.. We have established that people who work and make rational decisions based on their needs, assets and incomes should are be forced at gunpoint to support the irrational and selfish decisions of others. thats the facts of life, we are forced but i suspect most of us dont think we should be

err.. at most one might state that someone who is in favor of forced surgical procedures (for any purpose, but in this case to stop them from procreating) is in fact a supporter of a form of genocide

Any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. (Article 2 CPPCG)s

we have identified those who believe it is just and right that those who tend to their own affairs be enslaved to those who do not. not sure if serious. we all pay taxes. thats a fact of life. in my world view (and i suspect this is the generally accepted as true) paying taxes is not by definition, slavery though some, being overly sensitive to such ideas (sovereign citizens) might feel this way

your reasoning is a bit jejune...

Instead of giving the government more power (and the power to decide if you can reproduce is about as big as it gets), why don't we just shut down welfare (which also gives enormous power to the government)?

Your idea to fix a too powerful government doing harmful things is to give them more power.  Does that make any sense?

Ah yes, the old "progressive" activist Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes summed it up: "Three generations of imbeciles are enough" even though with the possible exception of the grandmother, none of them were feeble-minded.  

"We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes."

I mean.. two years ago the murder rate was at a 51 year low, after which it increased somewhat in 2015 and 2016. Violent crime rates have been falling since the early 90s, property crime rates have been falling since 1990. Burglary rates have been falling since the 80s. (according to the FBI via the mises institute and wikipedia)

I'm not gonna strip naked and run backward through the ghetto (in fact, I'm going to put on another shirt, nobody needs to see this), but it's my understanding that the welfare state has pretty much only grown since the 70s (according to the Cato, it's basically tripled as a proportion of GDP since 1965; and welfare spending per person-in-poverty has also tripled in constant dollars).

Shit was really bad in the 70s and 80s, but things have been getting better on the crime front since the early 90s, and if welfare spending hasn't fallen off to make poor people change their behavior, what has?

What I would see as a lot more doable would be if the individual that's requesting .gov to pay for the birth of their child would volunteer, in return, to have their tubes tied. If they don't volunteer to do it, they don't get the whole bill paid. An escalating scale could be incorporated so by the third (just an arbitrary number thrown out there) the .gov would no longer pay for any part of the birth.

You do have to realize, though, the racket isn't in paying for births, the costs to .gov is after the birth. Women turn out kids like puppy mills to get the funds available to single, unemployed mothers. THAT lucrative incentive is what needs to be addressed.

Could be that a cash payout incentive could be used at the time of birth to have tubes tied. $10K, up front would be cheaper than the results otherwise & accomplish the goals.

I don't have a problem with something like Norplant being required for any females over the age of 14 receiving government assistance, but the permanent sterilization gives me pause.  We do need to ensure anyone receiving government assistance is prevented to the best of our ability from generating offspring they obviously can't afford.  However, there is always the possibility they will get an education or otherwise overcome a temporary situation and become productive members of society.  If they get off welfare they should have the ability to freely choose to have kids just like anyone else.  Receiving government aid should not taint the rest of a person's life.
