Obama's Science Czar: Traditional family is obsolete, punish large families

"As United States taxpayers know, income tax laws have long implicitly encouraged marriage and childbearing...Such a pronatalist bias of course is no longer appropriate. In countries that are affluent enough for the majority of citizens to pay taxes, tax laws could be adjusted to favor (instead of penalize) single people, working wives, and small families. Other tax measures might also include high marriage fees, taxes on luxury baby goods and toys, and removal of family allowances where they exist. Other possibilities include the limitation of maternal or educational benefits to two children per family."

What a creep - How did the Senate confirm this guy?

[Jeb21]

He’s not just a creep, he’s an enemy of Western civilization.

[BenLurkin]

Evil.

Just plain evil.

[Former Proud Canadian]

I don’t think that “czar” is a position that requires confirmation. Besides, they confirmed Holder, Geitner, will confirm Sotomayer, et al.

whups for some reason my browser double posted. . . . sorry everybody!

Eliminating tax breaks to families doesn’t punish them, it just fixes an inequity that gives them preferential treatment over individuals. They will be paying the same taxes as individuals.

Now there is a kicker.

“I’m sorry Suzi, you were born third
so no schooling for you.”

Where DOES Obumble come up with these people??

That's because we like America. If you don't, please leave.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The Bible rejoins that children are like arrows, how blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. (That does not mean that God can’t bless the single and the celibately married, of course.)

Sure.. half the Democratic base is large family based, but they happen to be minority, can’t touch that. Prime evidence in showing that the Democratic party is that of small cults rigidly segregated so they don’t come to know one another and hate each other.

Yes he was. . . . here’s what Vitter had to say. . . but I don’t think anyone opposed his confirmation

Damn, now you've told them!!!

Agree with with FPC wrote.

Thats why 0 is just hiring these czars because they are only accountable/answer to him.

America is being hijacked.

All those anti-war, anti-america in the 60’s and 70’s are coming to power with the 0 in office.

Uh... China?

[Dallas59]

Right out of the communist manifesto.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

They’re his pals from way back.

[utahagen]

I'm single, but I support tax breaks that encourage married, law-abiding people to have many children. An increasingly large percentage of my taxes goes to encouraging unmarried poor people to have as many children as possible. Our country is being stolen from us.

Where DOES Obumble come up with these people??

From Dims that worship China, possibly? The one child rule there? They are the largest Communist country for the 0bums to replicate.

[Paladin2]

Path to sure demographic self-destruction, idiot.

[madamemayhem]

hey does that mean they start taxing welfare moms who keep popping out more kids to get more benefits?
