Haha so all you have is to call me a teenager? My God you're sad.

So your best bet is to use a low income city that averages one of the lowest in The nation as a crutch for your argument?

I don't know what to tell you if you've got an income that low and decided to start knocking up another girl with a low income job and not wrap your tool.

An overwhelming majority of people can still budget and afford kids. Not to mention 250,000 is the AVERAGE. $157,000 is on the lower end, which would reflect on a lower average income city/state. This would bring it down to about $8,700 a year, and once again include tax incentives.

If the best you've got is hyperbolic cases that don't account for different costs to adjust for income, I'm not really interested in discussing it with you.

And again, I'll repeat this:

I never said kids were cheap. They are pricey and you should absolutely budget for them if you have any. Yes some people will struggle to afford them and an unexpected pregnancy is definitely a concern. Which is why we should be doing more with tax income to support low income families instead of wasting it on an over bloated military industrial complex that isn't even capable of developing technology more advanced than our peers nowadays.
