You're free-loading either way. You're just arguing about free-loading off parents in India versus the U.S.



It's not freeloading. It's a voluntary trade for value.

In any event, your logic is flawed. A person can easily be a net contributor over a lifetime without having children. And someone who has children, can easily be a net drain even after attributing some of the costs/contributions of the children (which may well also be negative).
