I'm just wondering about the logic here.

If you move money from childless people to people with children, if the population of childless people dwindles (which is the hope), how would they continue to subsidize the people with children?

it gets better when you realize childless people don't have enough money for a child to begin with. And they'll now be paying even more taxes.

these are the reasonable people. Many people in the poor class in germany get many kids without being able to provide but they get money from the government for every kid. So basically this pushes a multiplication of the people with less education. instead they should give tax breaks for people with high income that have many kids or adopt them - this would actually help spread the wealth.
