That’s where you’re wrong, at a certain point you generate enough from interest that all you’re doing is accumulating more and more wealth, yet these people don’t have more kids.
This shows me that people on high incomes have fewer babies, it doesn’t show whether those not having to work whilst maintaining that high standard of living (i.e. independently wealthy - millions in savings) have higher or lower numbers of children.
I think we’re arguing to the same end, that if it wasn’t a choice between high standard of living / interesting career Vs having children there wouldn’t be an issue. Capitalism, once again, is a victim of it’s own success and desire for short term gains.
We’ve done such a good job advertising a better life that everyone’s decided earning more and having a good career is the most important thing.
It has nothing to do with capitalism, it has to do with women being allowed to make a choice. In a socialist system they don’t have more kids no matter how much support they get.
Fucking hell, I feel like I’m talking to someone who would love to see women being forced to have kids in exchange for being paid or something… “There you go lad, a nice check to make sure you and your kids don’t go hungry, now go and start making babies, that’s what you were meant for!”

Lol, have you any data for your assumptions?
If you’ve run out of points by all means turn this into a personal attack.

And where is this data? What are you basing this on?
Because earning 200k doesn’t mean they have millions in savings, and I’m not quite sure how you’d be able to get that data.

Even at lower levels, do you really think that households that make 200k need to work more than households that make 100k?

I’m done, goodbye.
