Your comprehension skills leave a lot to be desired.
Stay focused here:
“If mom and dad get a $5000 tax credit for each child - SO LONG AS MOM AND DAD ARE MARRIED - and divorced/non married couples get squat....”
Are you in favor of tax benefits to married couples? Or should they be penalized?
That’s all I want to know. Answer that.
What *I* think of it has nothing to do with YOUR skills of logic. You said that without tax benefits to married couples with children, there would be a reduction of birth outside of marraige and divorce. My response was a big ole hardy har har.
And NO, I do not agree with you. Still doesn’t change your living in a dream world if you think removing the tax benefits for single or divorced people would reduce divorces or illegitimate children. Last I checked on Maury, tax benefits were the last thing on these people’s minds when testing four guys to see if they were the baby daddy within a limited window of time to conceive.
Utter nonsense. The demographics where out of wedlock births are the most common are populated with those who fall below the poverty line and pay no income taxes. For those who pay taxes like myself, we’re smart enough to know that $10,000 in tax credits (I have two kids at home) amounts to virtually nothing in savings. It’s $10k of income that you don’t pay taxes on, not $10k in your pocket. It’s trivial.
