First, I'd like to point out how I enjoyed the OP. Good work on the satire. If we saw more of this in Tilted Politics, it would be a more interesting place.
I'm not sure how I feel about this tax on parenthood, but it's interesting to see that China isn't the only one with the will to do something like it.
Bottom line: The conflicting forces here are individual freedom and government's concerns over scarce resources.
I'm going to wait and see how this thread pans out.
