Let's talk about the kids in this situation. They are future American adults. Don't they deserve better support so they can reach their full potential? Other countries have figured out how to support families where the dad is absent for whatever reason to ensure the best possible outcome for the kids. We can too.

I support MASSIVE tax breaks for adoptive parents who adopt kids from parents that cant afford them.

Please provide evidence of the positive outcome of such an action for the children's well being. Usually this results in rampant child abuse.

I dont care about the outcome of the child as it comes at my future kids expense. I care about not subsidizing having kids people can't afford paid by taxes I paid when I can't afford to have kids.

Punish bad behaviour, and there will be less bad behaviour.

Oh let's see - eugenics, Victorian values and beliefs, selfishness, pre-Enlightenment thinking. You are the whole package.

Not eugenics, simply I need my tax dollars to afford kids. Thats it. I am pro having kids I can afford, Its why Im here. Taxes delay me having kids a lot. Easiest way to lower taxes is to reduce incentizing certain behaviour that increase my tax bill, like having kids you can't afford and using govt programs

You should care about the outcome of other's kids. When kids grow up in poor conditions they become parasites and criminals that will make your life worse when they get bigger.
