For one thing, the Duggars have a “debt-free” lifestyle, which means they have no mortgage interest deduction. It wouldn’t surprise me if they refused to deduct their church tithes and offerings - a number of strict Protestants do. And they have quite a good income, work very hard. Jim Bob and Michelle are both real estate brokers, and they have investment properties, and some of the children have businesses. As well as the TV contract!
More to the point, they’re no more responsible for the income tax system than you or I, or somebody with no children. Why should they (or we) be expected to order the most important decisions of our lives toward paying MORE taxes? I’d like to see anyone honestly say he makes ANY decisions with the goal of paying more taxes!
As I was saying to Mrs. Don-o, socialism (even to the extent we have it in the U.S.) turns what should be free citizens and Christian neighbors into slaves competing for favors and handouts from Massa. It’s evil.
It’s an argument I’m not used to seeing on a conservative forum..it’s almost like people shouldn’t have kids because it isn’t fair to those who don’t have kids.
People who have kids pay less to the government, creating resentment among the child-less.
OK...so everyone quit having kids so everything can become “fair” - and let’s see how long it takes for the whole economy and social structure to collapse.
Need a template?
Just watch what happens in China over the next 2 decades.
