I agree with your stance on policy, but honest question here:
I hear lots of theories that the ownership class are trying to limit reproduction of the classes below them.
Why though? Don't they want a huge population of desperate workers that keep fueling their profits and keeping their well-manicured hands from doing any real work?
I dunno, I wonder sometimes if we apply Hanlon's Razor and it really is an extreme example of incredibly shortsighted capitalist stupidity: "Yeah we're running out of workers but that's not a problem THIS quarter..."
