The Japanese economy is in an inexorable decline.  It is sinking even faster than its population.  Japan’s population began to decline before its economy did.  The Japanese did not encourage young families to have any children at all, let alone encouraging them to have one more child.

Every nation that declines does so because its birthrate has dropped.  Why do birthrates drop?  When too large a percentage of the population makes a living by taxing,  middle-class young couples are automatically among those too heavily taxed to have children.

The culture of death hates for people in loving families to have children.  The anti-life segment rejoices at ever smaller families, and is happiest with no children at all, unless they’re raised by those who hate every decent tradition of the West.

All those who’ve joined in the culture of death are united in discouraging people from having even one child, let alone one more child.  In our day, couples with one child are admirable.  Those with two children are heroes.  Three or more?  Absolutely triumphant!

When we look back, we see how quickly our last twenty years have have flown.   Those years are nothing compared to a child’s soul who will live forever.

And, no one ever has enough sisters and brothers.
