There was a thread last night once again, seems like a weekly thing on the subject of the book Starship Troopers.

The final question I viewed before thread was archived was, do you have to be a voting class person to have a child? No, this was something that was put into the movie and the movie alone, as one of the characters states becoming a citizen increases the chances of being accepted for a pre pregnancy screening (allowing you to continue the process towards pregnancy).

In the book anyone can have a child, anyone. It just won't help your economic status as there is no welfare system for the non voting cast.
Picture if you will that everything is the same as capitalism, you can work your shitty job, you can be a millionaire and have every luxury.
This is no different in their word either, however the voting class does have benefits.
If you're poor and have another child and aren't a voter, you're just adding another mouth to feed and no one will help you, no food/medial/educational benefits exist.
If you're rich and aren't a voter, you may be paying full prices for medical operations, relocations for jobs, just in general it isn't easier.

While a poor person who is a voter would in theory get a basic income for each child, medical coverage, insuring that his family can continue to live. A rich person who is a voter is just that much richer.

You must understand that their society is based on who will and will not help their fellow man. While economic status still exist, a poor man who is a voter is held in higher regard than the richest of the rich who isn't a voter. Because that poor fellow gave back to humanity.

This is ideally the perfect utopian society, that could actually be achievable to some degree.
Sex, race, religion, culture, economics none of these matter in the face of the bigger question. Did you help contribute to your fellow mans progression?
