For A Thousand Bucks

A Louisiana state Representative, John LaBruzzo, is proposing the state: a) pay the poor $1000.00 to get themselves sterilized and b) provide tax incentives for wealthy, college-educated people to reproduce.

LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue to the government. He said he is gathering statistics now.

It's worth noting that LaBruzzo was elected from the same district that sent the KKK's David Duke to the State House.
