Individuals tend to be a benefit to society not a cost to society. I must have missed the announcements that most of the wealth in the world was in the Arab occupied areas of Israel and similar areas with excessive reproduction and propagandistic "education". If they aren't on welfare or the equivalent, or recipients of your charity, than you aren't paying the costs. Of course that must be due to the laws that require parents to keep their children off the streets and out of the parks, etc. But they do so by being criminals, not by merely existing. When a person lives in society they use common resources. Each resource depletion carries costs to society. Regardless of whether society chooses to impose a fees for resource extraction or not, mining and other resource extraction has costs. OTOH producing renewable resources carries no additional costs besides the extracted resources required to produce them. Also you still haven't answered my question - What does not charging for births, while also not giving tax credits of children, have to do with people being uneducated? Because it is either specious or not related to what I posted.
