That’s his point. The people that say they do not want to pay for other peoples children want to opt out of the social contract that underpins all of this. And if they do, they should not get the rewards side later in life.
This kind of egocentric " me me me" thinking is to the detriment of everyone. Social systems are like insurance… if you don’t need it… it’s not a waste… you got lucky. But if you get unlucky… if you go at it alone… you will be up the creek without a paddle.
Too many people think that life and the world is as you make it. They refuse to believe that probably 20pct is you, the other 80 is (good/bad) luck.

Education and a good job also prevent them from falling into poverty and crime and mugging those old people.
