1. Less education of the risks.
2. No job, more freetime, more sex.
3. Can't afford birth control.
4. Less of a sense of developed purpose in life so they try to have children to have a purpose.
5. Seriously, we should be handing out more free condoms.

Another person's ignorant moronic personal assumption that poor people have the most children, my mother was certainly not poor yet she had 9 children.

Because people who aren't poor have to worry about things like taking responsibility for their decisions. If you have to take responsibility for your decisions, you make more responsible choices.
A poor person doesn't have to worry about being responsible for their choices. Tax payers are responsible to take care of their responsibilities for them.
