You can not raise seventeen children on the wages of a "maintainance man" without the help of the American tax-payer. I do not discriminate. If you can not afford to raise em on your own. Don't have em or put them up for adoption. I do not feel obligated to support your rat like breeding qualities.
Is this guy's nickname "Vlad the Impaler"?
(Sombody had to say it)
Tnere is an Amish famiy here in Northern Indiana with 17 kids. I think there are three sets of twins.
What’s so rational about putting yourself out of business? In the United States, blue-state birthrates mean that in 20 years America will look a lot less like John Kerry’s Massachusetts and a lot more like Texas and Utah.
I agree that the welfare thing puts the story in a whole different, less favorable light.
"America needs more European immigrants like this family."
No, we need more American families like this.
The words "Ukrainian-American family" seems to indicate exactly that.
No need to preface that with "Sorry folks." They're used to having nothing, so when they came here, they didn't say, "Here, you can do something, make something of yourself. Let's maximize our childrens' chances of success by not having any more." They just kept going and are so thrilled that the tax payers will pay for it all. No, we don't need more immigrants like these from Europe.
That's the exact line that came to my mind too! Lol
>>This family might be a bit extreme but I miss the days when "big" families (at least four kids) were the norm.<<
Come to my church! I am really unusual with only 2.
There are at least 4 of the 16 seat vans in our parking lot every Sunday. One family is a mix of natural and adopted. One family just had their 1st boy after 7 girls!!!!
God Bless big families!
If it has 15 seats it's not a Mini-van reporter !
Where are you finding the part about taxpayers picking up the tab? Ive looked and I can't seem to find it.
Could you please show me where it says that they are on Welfare?
Did you read the link I provided?
They're not on welfare. They're receiving "public assistance." It doesn't specify what kind.
In any case, given the demographic problems we face, I'd suggest that some public money in exchange for seventeen European, God-fearing children is probably a good-quality investment.
I don't mind if we subsidize births to some extent. The problem is that we subsidize the wrong kind of births.
I have a friend that has 19 kids in their family from Ohio. I hate to break the news to them but they still have some more kids to go.
Good grief. Public assistance IS welfare. They can't pay their own way so the goverment steps in and subsidizes their desire to have as many children as the GOVERNMENT can afford to pay for.
What do you mean by "wrong kind" of birth? ANY birth subsidized by "welfare" (i.e., income stolen from you and me) is the "wrong" type of birth.
And are you suggesting a religious test for receiving welfare???
Yes, I saw that they did not speak English, but did not see the Welfare.
