"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."

“Eliminating tax breaks to families doesnt punish them, it just fixes an inequity that gives them preferential treatment over individuals. They will be paying the same taxes as individuals.”
Translation: Breed Mo’ Bastards!
Civilizations subsidize families because they produce, raise, and acculturate the next generation.
As recent American history has shown, single parent families produce, by definition, bastards; and, not surprisingly, they behave like ‘little bastards’.
Does he also believe that there should be no welfare for beyond three children?
Sounds like they want to reduce the responsible population, and let the irresponsible population grow . . .
Good idea. A sure solution to Global Warming also.
****Sounds like they want to reduce the responsible population, and let the irresponsible population grow . . .****
Yep, sounds like they want to make the plot of Idiocracy come about even faster than it is already.
That good ol’ Second Amendment is looking more important by the day.
Add this Czar to the list, please.
He is a “czar” and does not need senate confirmation since there is no constitutional position for a “czar” in the United States Consititution. He is just a political buddy of Obama whom has been given a federal pay check as a political payoff.
The Darkest Pits of Hell?
They probably did, but it was illegal in those days, at least in most states.
That’s the thrust of it.
Bob, you cannot believe that you alone control every facet of your life. You are dependent upon so many others for what you are, your health, financial position, you name it and it is because other people exist in your life. Your doctor had parents who spent tons of dollars raising him to be the person you seek when you need help. All of the teachers who educated you came from parents who sacrificed in order for them to become teachers. Remove the parents in the scenarios and where would you be today? Good health? dead? Those things that others in your life provided you have value. How much is who you are today worth to you? Don't pretend it's worth nothing.
