I've read some ultra traditionalists complain about western countries having low birth rates and how it is harmful to the culture. Why is it so bad for married couples to actually PLAN the size of their families? Yes you will have fewer children but those children will be more likely to be better educated, healthier, and more financially sucessful because the more financial resources and individual training went in to those children, whereas with a larger number of children the resources and time for the kids would be strechted thin because of both parents having to devote so much time to simply providing the physical needs of the children. Most of the dirty and dangerous jobs that are given to immigrants are getting less neccessary anyway as technology advances, so the argument of needing a labor base is absurd in that well educated prosperous people will see to it that their kids get good educations as well as the immigrants' children who will eventually work their way up in society
