I am so glad you are principled and pay your full share of taxes by not claiming that tax exemption government reward for having children!
Nearly all so-called “conservatives” on FR show their true liberal colors by supporting such governmental control measures, rather than standing up and saying that taxing people extra for not having children, a mortgage, etc., is unAmerican.
Are they not also American citizens or are they just non abortions gone wrong and should be left to die as ObaMao would have it?
Do you take your exemption?
I don't see your reasoning that only some people should have exemptions and other not. Should we have to reach a certain age to have an exemption?
These people that have children and pay taxes are the working people!
Gondring, if every child is a tax exemption, including yourself as a child, I don’t see that unfairness. Rich, poor, any race, any disability, any birth order - each one is an exemption? Then I see that as fair.
I don’t see the income tax as fair, to be clear. But taking a fair exemption should not be ridiculed.
I am in about a 22% tax bracket. Should I pay 33% by your theory?
We are going to have at least $4,000 in medical deductions this year. Should I not take them, to be fair?
If you don’t like your tax bill then freakin’ figure out exemptions or deductions for yourself. Taxes as they are applied are NOT patriotic anyway.
I guarantee you I am FAR more patriotic and conservative than your bitter self will ever be. Your little attack on me personally is ridiculously uncalled for as you do not know me or my family and the facts that we donate 20% of our income to charities and our Church or the fact that our taxes are itemized and our bigger refund is from that and not our exemptions.
Think before you open your self-righteous yap next time, got it.
What are you saying? Are you criticizing those who have children? Sure sounds like it.
Here in the Northeast, many people cannot claim their children as a deduction. There's an income phaseout.
