If a poor dude has a child by a rich woman then she will pay a lot more toward raising his child than she will. In that case the mother is the "meal ticket".
I don't believe that's true in most states. I ran an estimator for $150k in income and it spit out $20k a year...it didn't ask me what the mother's income was. That's nearly double the poverty level for a SINGLE ADULT, and like 3X welfare benefits for a child.
