I think it is about whether the state should support the children of higher earners, and I think the answer is 'no'. You can argue over what you consider high earners, but the principle seems sound to me.

As for your comment about affording children, that is a bit silly and a very stale cliché isn't it.
No it's not. Why do you think it is? In fact, I think there is a case to be made for abolishing child benefits after the second child.
