The whole fact IV has managed to support their own family AND pay taxes to support others clearly demonstrates how the media, yes the media, has warped many peoples views on the "types" of people who choose to have large families. Clearly many people are incapable of using their own brains and rely on what the media tell them is right and wrong. There's too much of the pathetic stereotypical view that a large family = poverty, lack of discpline, scroungers and all that. Yes there are SOME families out there but not all and I think it totally unfair that those that really try and could do with the assistance are plonked in to the same basket that many on here seem to look down their noses at. I think you'll find more families than the media target out there, that are actually hard working, hardly claim the benefits they could and don't complain like your good selves where their taxes go. I can think of worse things our money is being spent on. Who has the right to dictate who should and shouldnt have children and when? I wasn't aware we were a communist country. Oh dear!
