I've come to understand that

the morality and relational well-being of mankind cannot be reconciled through the means of politics.  This does not mean no government
is needed.

"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved
    by the level of thinking that created them."

in any case, any chapter of history since the dawn of time ought
to suffice as either proof or evidence.

The more educated and affluent the society, the more expensive (in both physical and parental resources) it is to raise a kid

I don't see how. Wouldn't an affluent society make it easier to have many children. Education usually comes without cost, especially in socialist countries; food is not a worry at all; there are parks everywhere. What more would children need?
