I'm tired of the AMT...I am married with 7 kids and there are no 'rewards' for me tax wise b/c of the AMT.

You are right of course in that our tax code should not be a vehicle for social engineering, but that is exactly what it has become.

That is what it was always intended to be, actually.

Roosevelt's New Dealers, the architects of withholding, made it clear that it was all about social engineering, not just revenue collection. They were very open about it.

The purpose of tax policy is to reward people for fecundity?
