> regular people would be jealous of how kids who were wards of the state lived

Given that the money to do that would have been taken from those parents, you can see why in a democracy parents would object to having their resources stolen for government kids to have better lives over their own.

They should give their kids up if they don't want them.

This makes me think that your original comment was some form of sarcasm. So your plan is to incentivize lower class parents to abandon their children because the state would be able to take better care of them?

That does not sound dystopian at all..
