torries to axe child benefit if they get in????

If you took away benefits for having more than 2 children would you see a decrease in the average number of kids people have? Do people really consider that when they have kids or do they just have them? A lot of people seem to worry about problems as they hit them not before.

It's a fact that some out there have kids to get a house and then more kids to get more money and a bigger house. This is madness when some people can't afford to have kids.

So what is the point of the policy? To discourage these specific parents from having more children? A great idea if it succeeds, but if it doesn't we are just left with more disadvantaged children. I feel that we as a country have a shared responsibility to give all children born here a basic standard of living. It obviously sucks that some parents utilise their children to afford them an easy work-free life but is that a good enough reason to plunge those innocent children into poverty, whilst probably perpetuating this specific cycle.

What's your answer then? Surely it should be on people to take ownership of their lives and not have children they can't afford?

Do you have children?

No, I am waiting until I can afford them as me and my wife both work so won't get any help.

So you don't even understand the benefit you are discussing...

Yes I do. What a stupid comment as per usual from you.

So you understand that the majority of people who recieve child benefit are working.

Yes of course however many are not. Plus it's all the benefits that go with having more children. The 26k a year cap on benefits is a good thing as far as I am concerned.
