Should we instead auction off a perpetual stream? X% of the revenue from the current generation, 0.5*x of children’s revenue, 0.25*X grandkids etc.

To pick a concrete example, say that there is a tax credit for having children. The tax career agent then has an incentive to prevent the taxpayer from having children, because if the taxpayer gets the credit, their tax burden is less and the career agent gets paid less. This works against the purpose of the tax credit.
