Do you plan on retiring?

Who's going to produce the goods and services you intend to purchase in your retirement?

First world birth rates are already low. Under your guidance we'd have a demographic crisis like you wouldn't believe.

Sure, there's immigration, but I don't see why your rule doesn't apply to poor people in other countries.

Fuck up the planet in order to preserve the ecconomic system. Does anything strike you as wrong with that?

The comment I was replying to said nothing about the environment, only individual wealth.

Also, it doesn't matter what economic system you're using, if your ratio of working people to non-working people decreases, your quality of life will also decrease.

Lastly, what I said doesn't require the population to grow, only to stay constant. If you want to reduce the population because it's somehow bad for the planet, you can do it gradually.
