Hence, those who are not raising the kids are currently FREELOADERS on the investment of the parents

This statement isn't as dumb as the other one, but only because it's so meaningless.

People who don't serve in the armed forces are FREELOADERS on those who do, getting defended without doing it themselves.

People who don't haul garbage away are FREELOADERS on those who do, getting protected from plague without lifting a finger personally.

People who don't study medicine are FREELOADERS on those who do, having their health taken care of without cracking a single medical book.

Everyone is a "FREELOADER" by this standard, which is thus devoid of significance.

Only because you are incapable of seeing either the analogy or the distinction. Everyone is a "FREELOADER" by this standard, which is thus devoid of significance.

Society PAYS soldiers with tax money.

Society PAYS garbage haulers, and fines people who accumulate garbage.

People PAY for medical care.

Parenting is uncompensated.
