Stop having kids ?

In a letter to the editor of USA Today ( Aug.17 ) Gary D.Zeune

    tells off the welfare dependent: " Get a job. Stop bringing children

    into the world you can't take care of.... "

          But what if our " proletarian class " took his advice seriously ?

    What if the wombs of the poor  and working class women actually went

    on strike for  5 or 10 years - until society took responsibility for

    creating the good paying jobs that it will make it possible to CARE

    for children ?

          The very etymology of the word " proletarian "  suggests

    producers of offspring , indeed " prolific " producers !

           In  ancient Rome that is all the proles were required to do :

    replenish the ranks of the imperial army.

          Ancient Rome took better care of its proles. Indeed leaders like

    the Gracchi brothers - both martyred - even championed them .

         Are the American prole children just fodder for the capitalist

    economic order ?  If  that is the sad truth, why should our " proletarian "

    class reproduce the race at all ?

           Think about it you implacable foes of the Welfare State !
