May I ask what is the rationale behind child tax credits other than a voter attraction scam?
Why penalize couples for having children? What is this, China?
They make us use carseats for our kids which means we have to buy bigger cars and then use more gas which means we pay more in gas taxes so they give it back in a child tax credit.
I hope that clears things up.
If someone owns a house they get to deduct much more than a renter, it is an incentive to own a home because home ownership helps America thrive. A man who owns a small business where he is the owner and only employee can deduct the cost of a brand new SUV but a family who's dad works for TI can't deduct the cost of their new one. Its incentive for the small business to thrive so it can grow. Its not as if I am losing money because one person gets a break I don't. I only lose money when they take what I earned to give to someone who didn't.
Not having any?
Okay, okay, accross-the-board tax cuts are better.
