Tax breaks for families was to increase population for tax base and for cannon fodder. Propaganda encouraging families living in the suburbs to have families despite not needing the kids for farming was to increase population for tax base and for cannon fodder. Get it yet? These things work both ways. Govt tries to control and extort the population in any way that benefits it.

Have kids or don't have kids, whatever fits you and your life. Fuck what the govt wants or doesn't want.
