Ben Wattenberg of the American Enterprise Institute writes that we haven’t produced enough little slaves:
Never-born babies are the root cause of the “social deficit” that plagues nations across the world and threatens to break the bank in many. When a very large cohort of population (a “baby boom”) is followed by a very small cohort (a “birth dearth”), there will be relatively few working-age people to underwrite the benefits of the many seniors who have paid into national retirement systems, such as Social Security and Medicare.
If the government would have just let us invest our savings, instead of forcing us to participate in their Ponzi scheme, we wouldn’t have to be worrying about demographics because we wouldn’t need to force our children to support us.
