This is an interesting twist on the “Soft Eugenics” programs of the state. Why not just make having babies illegal unless your wealthy? Margret Sanger wanted to eradicate the population of African Americans with her “negro project”, which later became “planned parenthood”. One shouldnt also forget that Sanger is a feminist hero, and that the feminists (through delay) have insured that whole families will never be represented on the face of the earth again, unless they have the money for invitro.
Now the newest assault on the middle class family. We cant tax the poor, they are too poor, and the wealthy will see it as a license fee. Seems the Left/Socialist/Communists are just making way for those who are the elite and will make policy for the rest of us.
Basically if your in the middle class what would such a tax result in? Why another assault on the capable, the able, the individuals of the middle class!
Of course if the money they take is wasted, as it always is in socialist programs, no saving will occur. What will occur is the misuse of such funds, and the prevention of real solutions.
Birth rates already abysmal, will plummet. Which is ok if you are planning to soft invade a country with the uneducated, uninformed, desperate, criminal, and more.
Anyone care to check out the countries birth rates?
(These countries are from the bottom half of the list, and are below replacement).
Germany:
9.35 births/1,000 population
Japan:
9.96 births/1,000 population
Sweden:
10.01 births/1,000 population
Switzerland:
10.4 births/1,000 population
Finland:
10.8 births/1,000 population
Hong Kong:
11.29 births/1,000 population
Canada:
11.41 births/1,000 population
United Kingdom:
11.76 births/1,000 population
Netherlands:
12.12 births/1,000 population
Denmark:
12.16 births/1,000 population
France:
12.27 births/1,000 population
Norway:
12.79 births/1,000 population
Singapore:
12.79 births/1,000 population
Australia:
13.08 births/1,000 population
United States:
14.2 births/1,000 population
Ireland:
14.51 births/1,000 population
All these countries are below replacement rate, and are the most likely to adopt such a tax . How is that going to help the world, when the countries with the highest rates are the least likely to adopt these policies?
Who are the worst offenders of birth that should be taxed to reduce the rates? The least likely to have anyting to tax.

These are the highest birth countries . Does anyone see a pattern here? does anyone see many patterns here? Which countries are the most free? Which countries do the poor live well in? Which countries, cause massive starvation? Which countries are denuded to the point of subsistence?
Now which countries will disappear, and what will remain? Which countries are controlled by an elite that does what it wants, and which countries are people free, healthy, etc?
Could it be that the Secularists have figured out how to even up the birth rates between the selfish who dont have children so it doesnt interfere with their lives, and the religious, who think that life is the most important thing and that materialism is a waste…
The materialists who spend their lives in conspicuous consumption will end up taxing those who spend their money on life, and the joy that we are here for (a meaning that nihilists have lost with all other meaning). While families do more with less, and waste less (after all, large families eat, and play, but dont spend their money on projection tvs, and plane trips, and things that really waste energy as do the secular who have no kids.
Blame families for the waste of the barren… will result in?
Baby tax needed to save planet, claims expert
A WEST Australian medical expert wants families to pay a $5000-plus “baby levy” at birth and an annual carbon tax of up to $800 a child.
Writing in today’s Medical Journal of Australia, Associate Professor Barry Walters said every couple with more than two children should be taxed to pay for enough trees to offset the carbon emissions generated over each child’s lifetime.
Professor Walters, clinical associate professor of obstetric medicine at the University of Western Australia and the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth, called for condoms and “greenhouse-friendly” services such as sterilisation procedures to earn carbon credits.
And he implied the Federal Government should ditch the $4133 baby bonus and consider population controls like those in China and India.
Professor Walters said the average annual carbon dioxide emission by an Australian individual was about 17 metric tons, including energy use.
“Every newborn baby in Australia represents a potent source of greenhouse gas emissions for an average of 80 years, not simply by breathing but by the profligate consumption of resources typical of our society,” he wrote.
“Far from showering financial booty on new mothers and rewarding greenhouse-unfriendly behaviour, a ‘baby levy’ in the form of a carbon tax should apply, in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle.”
Australian Family Association spokeswoman Angela Conway said it was ridiculous to blame babies for global warming.
“I think self-important professors with silly ideas should have to pay carbon tax for all the hot air they create,” she said. “There’s masses of evidence to say that child-rich families have much lower resource consumption per head than other styles of households.
But the plan won praise from high-profile doctor Garry Egger. “One must wonder why population control is spoken of today only in whispers,” he wrote in an MJA response article.
