15. Our planet is overpopulated already

We don't need to be pushing people who don't want kids into having them. In fact, I would like to see more progressive policies from our country, offering tax credits similar to the child tax credit to people who choose to remain childless. Every time I see politicians campaigning, and all their promises are things to reduce costs for certain groups... well, we should be doing those things, but look at who you're leaving out? A big number of young people are CHOOSING to remain child free. They're paying taxes, too.
