Summary Of Mr. Swifts Proposal

Mr. Swifts proposal states that for the benefit of the community, economy and country; children should start to be sold for their meat so it can be eaten and to gain money from it. The ways he feels that this will help is it will reduce the number of papists. Help the economy because families will receive money when they sell their children for meat, so this means they will be able to pay off their debts owed to their landlords. Families will no longer be required to pay, feed and clothe their kids after 1 year of age so that gives them extra spending money. Families will receive adequate money for selling their kids. This will help reduce abortions and unwanted births because they will just give them up shortly after they are born. Swift states
