Richer People Want Fewer Children

By CATHERINE RAMPELL

The economist Justin Wolfers wrote a provocative post last month arguing that children are “inferior goods.”

For most goods — “normal goods” — people desire more of them as their income increases. But for inferior goods (like rice) people tend to consume less as they get richer and are able to afford more desirable and expensive goods (like steak).

I think I hit sore spot - inferior people always react in a negative manner when faced with facts.

Is that why you post garbage articles and angry Euro-peon observations about America?

(Consider them "inferior goods" which is probably why the GOP hates to fund children's health care)

That is not in the article. It is your opinion.

Whats the matter, gobsheit?

Your inferiority complex kicking in again?

Psst! Pssst! Hey, boy... In your case, it's not a complex.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
-- Joseph Goebbels --

The State can no longer hide the consequences of their 100-year lie. VERY interesting times are ahead.
