How do you handle children born to unlicensed individuals who are "hidden" from the state (born at home, etc.) until they're older?
--Sterilization of parents, dramatic increase in taxes, will not receive free education, and if they cannot afford to do so, it will be given up for adoption.
How do you determine the minimum acceptable level of finances to have a child?
--I do not believe this is a difficult question. Draw a line.
Do you consider only finances, or other factors as well (criminal record, mental health, physical health, intelligence, etc.?)
--Absolutely.
At what level of government would this happen? If not federal, how do you handle "birth tourism", i.e. if my state/locale won't license me to have a child I go somewhere without licensing requirements, have the child, then move back home?
--One child laws could be federal, everything else could be handled on a state basis. I more strongly support one child laws than eugenics.
Eugenics isn't bad because Hitler did it; it's bad because it necessarily requires autocratic policies that violate peoples' basic rights.
Some people have proven they do not deserve rights.
