Why do the poor keep pushing out kids who will be at a significant disadvantage to the rich, and will end up basically enslaved by them, economically and socially? Without the poor to serve them, the rich will have to sit in their own filth, and create a new underclass from their own ranks if they want to maintain their priveleged lifestyles. And you know the Clinton family is benefitting from this situation. All fine talking about it from the top of the heap, and probably collecting a tidy sum from the speech circuit, in the process.
