Look how many talented intelligent people on this forum chose or choose not to have children. Having children should be made more attractive with incentives.

We boomers are the first generation in history to be able to "choose" how many children we have. Having children reduces one's lifestyle and raises the cost of living. "Liberating" women further discourages childbearing because it's pretty hard for a woman to have a serious career with one child but approaching impossible with five. That's pretty well sums up why the "middle class" has reduced the number of their children.
It is also a recent development (last 300 years or so) that the richest, most powerful men don't have the most children. How many kids (and wives) do Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have?
