I wonder if the welfare system does the same. /sarcasm....

[abovethefray]

my thoughts exactly...why not a small tax break for productive people that have children? The welfare system has been rewarding unproductive people for having more children for nigh on forty years...

No worries. Social Security can keep itself afloat with a steadily decreasing base of wage earners. It's fine if western culture lets itself be outbred. Hakuna matata....

Another leftist a** trying to tell the rest of us how to lead our lives.

These vermin need extermination. I wonder if a tax break for ridding society of rats is in order.

Just another example of lieberals wanting to ensure that no future generation has it as good as they do.

Europe and Russia are in population declines right now. I think the US would be as well, if it weren't for immigration, and certianly if not for the hispanic population.

If there is to be a human future, we need humans to populate it. Hopefully, humans with a culture to build, create, and advance.

The only real way government can do that is with tax breaks. As for poor families, they don't pay taxes anyway, so they're irrelevant to the discussion.

The only families a tax break will help are families with a productive culture. Exactly the families we should WANT to have more kids.

When I hear about goofs like this I want them to have look a group of children in the face and say which one should be killed. After all, the children of vig families are here, now what? It's like the yo-yos who talk about every driving smaller vehicles when they only have themselves to drive around.

One's income must be of certain levels to take advantage of multiple child decuctions. You can only deduct to the point of zero tax. Deductions beyond zero tax do nothing for you and provide no encouragements for anything. The people referred to in this article clearly do not have the income level where they would benefit from multiple child deductions.

Contrary to the point of the article, we DO want to engourage larger families for those families that can afford to be larger.

Nonsense. Got six. Best retirement program going.

Interesting article on the worldwide population decline -

"In Sweden and Italy fertility has been below replacement level for so long that the population has become old enough to have more deaths than births. Declines in fertility will eventually increase the average age in the world, and will cause a decline in world population forty to fifty years from now."

"In almost every country where people have moved from traditional ways of life to modern ones, they are choosing to have too few children to replace themselves. This is true in Western and in Eastern countries, in Catholic and in secular societies. And it is true in the richest parts of the richest countries. The only exceptions seem to be some small religious communities. We can't be sure what will happen in Muslim countries, because few of them have become modern yet..."

What a steamy pile of bovine scat. The question I have is whether he's a pawn of the pro-homosexual, the pro-abortion, or the pro-euthanasia movement--well I guess that's redundant.

[don-o]

Question: Am I going to read the full article?

Answer: Nope.

Question: Why?

Answer: I can't imagine getting my own head as far up my own ass as the writer of such must have his, hers or its, to even engage and think about such drivel

Be fruitful and multiply... and we'll tax you into the poor house!

Married + Kids = BAD!

slut + kids = welfare queen = GOOD!

easy to see...

Rarely do we get such a chance to look pure evil so squarely in the face. Of course, look at the venue: MSN, funded by Microsoft, whose head honcho spends huge amounts of money on population control programs worldwide. Wonder if Microsoft funds his research, too?

Check out this link - it demonstrates factually (and probably not offensively to most) the enormous - and often un-noted magnitude of the abortion holocaust in America since Roe v. Wade. The truthful reality of abortion and the pro-abortion agenda has for decades been artfully and slyly disguised and foisted upon a naieve American public that is too eager for rationalizations that seem to justify the commission of the selfish act of abortion. In my view, the author of this article is representing that same anti-family, anti-child view point from a slightly different and more subtle angle.
