When all these kids are looking for food, homes, jobs, etc, they flood the market.
Sure, they may be law abiding, hard working citizens, but think of how much food they need (even if thew grow most of it, it isn't completely sustainable, and some may not want to grow their own later on), water they drink, jobs they'll need, clothes they wear (again, even if they make a lot and buy used, it's not fool proof and they'll need to buy new).
And add to that healthcare costs, Medicare when they are retired, SS if it's even around then...it adds up.

well considering the fact that they built their own house themselves....grow some of the food they eat and the fact that the dad had some type of company left to him where they have enough money to support it, i say whatever...more power to them.
ive seen lots worse. like mike said. the girl who realizes she had a kid at 13, sits on welfare, hits 16 when her welfare runs out and only gets pregnant to keep the welfare going.....trust me. ive seen this tons. 25 year old girls with 4 or 5 kids.
