Father And Youth Mentor Says Poor People Shouldn’t Have Children Because It Becomes A ‘Burden’ On Others
“I don’t believe that poor people should be having children,” says Anton. “Having children when you don’t have money creates more problems for the kids and society at large. And, let’s be honest, it’s the middle class -- and more importantly, rich people -- that are now responsible for paying for poor people’s children.” Anton, a father of one, entrepreneur, and youth mentor, says he believes people should have to pass a test proving that they’re income-worthy before having kids. “Having kids is way too easy, and the people that’s having the most kids tend to be the worst people in society,” Anton says. Hear more from Anton in the video above. And, see Dr. Phil’s response. On Tuesday’s episode, “Procreation Debate: Is it Smart to Have Children?” Dr. Phil and a panel of guests debate whether it’s smart to have children – and whether there will be an effect on society if the birth rate continues to decline.
