As much as this might well surprise most people, there were times in other cultures such as during the Roman empire, as well as England, Italy, and the Soviet union where the government made it a point to enforce a celibacy tax, primarily for the reason that the government believed it was for the betterment of the nation, that more children be procreated, and those that were not doing their fair part to accomplish this, were duly taxed for their failure to do their duty to make babies and to have families.
Presently, the United States has been able to yearly increase its population, but that has not been because of Americans having a fertility rate that is high enough to readily compensate for those who are dying, but rather has everything to do with immigrants coming to America, both licit and illicit. This thus poses a real issue for America because those that represent the powers that be have determined that immigration, and especially illegal immigration, should be stymied, and they have made serious inroads not only in precluding immigrants from arriving to America, but also in preventing them from even considering such. Further to the point, those illegal immigrants that are already here, find themselves to be far too often, under assault, and in consideration that illegal immigrants are the very same who are typically young, signifies that the very people that are being compelled to leave are primarily those that are either young adult workers or are of school age who are being educated, and will at some point be laborers, themselves.
So then, when we take a close examination of the fertility rate in America, this indicates that we are not collectively childbearing enough, which will signify that very soon, if not now, yearly deaths will outnumber yearly births, in addition to the fact that because our population will be decreasing in this nation, whose landmass is considerable, means that there will be less people to enhance and better it, which is a loss for all Americans and will weaken us.
In all probability, a celibacy tax, if legislated, wouldn’t move the needle very much, or at all, but it would serve perhaps as a genuine wakeup call that for America to maintain its strength and vibrancy, it needs more children being birthed, for it isn’t possible for the American future to be bright, if each year there are less and less Americans. Indeed, there is continuous strength in ever higher numbers, and it is that increase in the number of people that live here, which contributes meaningfully to our economic Gross National Product, of which an aging country, which does not sustain itself through an appropriate birthrate is the same that has basically sung its song, and will thus pass the baton onto those nations that are young, vibrant, and have the desire to be the leaders of the future, demonstrated by their higher birthrate and the vigorous vitality of their youth who will lead the way.
