| Message | Yes really. Of course really. Why are we throwing away money like that? If they are low income, then sure, that is a valid reason to give them some support, but not if they are rich. |

| Message | Having a big family requires a bigger house, a bigger car, lots more food, more hassle to find a babysit,... and involves more costs. The government should come to their aid a bit. |

| Message | And if they are rich, they can afford that without government handouts. |
