Child benefit to be scrapped?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/sep/13/universal-benefits-labour-middle-class

One Liberal Democrat frontbencher said that his party, seeking savings of up to £60bn, had not ruled out taxing or means-testing child benefit either: "It has not appeared on our [public] list of items identified for reduction, but the list is not exhaustive. [Child benefit] is expensive. I was surprised when I was told how much it was."

Why means test it? Just scrap it for everyone to discourage feckless non-use of contraception by the feeble-minded promiscuous.

Then things will look after themselves.

Having fewer offspring who are the fruits of promiscuous loins, which progressively lower the quality of the national gene pool, would also be good for the environment.

Humans, as we know, are the most polluting species around, being potentially very stupid and destructive. They are also particularly wasteful and are capable of causing more damage than any other species when they get things wrong, which they frequently do.
