So? Will all of the liberals who are against tax cuts, especially the liberals from the middle and upper income levels, kindly forward their $1000 per child tax credit to my account? Just wondering?????

Crikey! You've given me an idea...

If we have a tax credit for children, why don't we impose
an additional tax on abortion?

Talk about reducing your federal deficit...
and when the newly-kept kids grow up, they can
pay Social Security taxes!

You are kidding, right? An abortion sin-tax? Hasn't America suffered enough from people profiteering by that vile murderous practice?

First, I don't believe a tax would be an effective deterrent against elective abortions (any more than the sur-tax on cigarettes or booze or gambling curtails indulgence in those vices..)

And even if it would discourage a few abortions, it would also incrementally "reward" government for each abortion and thus create a new tax base for them to protect through other legislation -- not good at all!
