The general populous is just not informed on the weight of bringing children into the world, but the modern nations rely on a workforce in order to thrive, it's why you see countries getting desperate with immigration as their population replacement numbers dwindle. So we need workers to maintain the economy, thus little incentives towards producing an educated population that will, as we note in other developed countries, steer away from manual labor and entry work to move towards entrepreneurship, office jobs, and professional careers.
Just note the difference in rearing between each tax bracket, the rich rear their kids to employ the other kids, or rear them towards professional careers, such as academics, law, medicine, etc, careers that have historically excluded the lower and even middle class due to the underlying requirements both financial and social that are extremely beneficial when pursuing such fields.
So the average worker in America is less likely to pursue education, less likely to be politically active, less likely to be politically informed, less likely to acquire ownership, less likely to be financially responsible. It's a cycle that is seemingly never ending without a significant intervention, don't fall for the outliers that make it out, they are outliers. Social mobility in America is trash, thus, one is more likely to remain in the tax bracket they were born into, as opposed to leaving it and moving upwards.
Simply put, you aren't supposed to think opposite, nations make more sense when you look at everyone participating as numbers or cogs in the machine. The average human is too keep their head down distracted with work and rearing, in survival mode, the pleasantries that you can partake in, consumerism, that's there so you leap from a building or decide to get serious about structural reform.
And I'm not suggesting a cabal of controllers, it's just the way things have fallen into place and what has become normalized, what it would take to change this is the majority recognizing their leverage in the system, but like I said, that same group is also the least, statistically, to do anything about it.
Can you afford a tutor? Unless your kid is going to a private school, the classrooms are big, they only suit kids that were reared to seek knowledge, the rest just float on and eventually graduate lacking an understanding in vital areas.
Ironically this plays into what I was describing above. How many here have kids not doing so well in school? What do you do about it? Go examine the academic approach for rearing between tax brackets, another startling discovery.
