Not sexy enough subject. Chicago u just made it that! How about stable families having that 3rd kid?
How about zero income tax on the first 30k income for an individual, the first 3 million on a business, and 12% on every dollar after that. That would work out to o income tax on a $60000 family income, assuming two wage earners.
Doing so would mean about 90% of the IRS could be let go because the taxes would be so simple. Tax lawyers would need to learn to code.
We already have child tax credits. Same thing. Have kids, get tax credit.
Better idea. Tax credit for married couples only. Maybe it would help a little with the fatherless kid issue.
More welfare for having kids. Hasn’t the last 60 years of the welfare state taught us that paying people to have kids leads to more single mothers and the destruction of the nuclear family?
Getting into a voter bribery bidding war with Democrats is a no-win proposition for our nation.
People need to be encouraged to save for their futures.
Government needs to stop meddling in the economy.
It’s your job to pay for your kiddies. Save up money to cover the last few months of pregnancy and the first year of the baby’s life.
Daddy’s weekly/bi-weekly income should normally be enough or nearly enough cover all fixed expenses.
If mommy & daddy normally make a combined $60,000/year, put $6,000/year aside for a few years so a new baby doesn’t bust the family finances.
How about a payout each month to those of us who are of retirement age because social security just isn’t enough. Sarc off :)
Paid for how?
Sorry, that does not work for me. I do not want any tax policy that used to change behavior or benefit one class of people over another. Everyone needs to pay and feel the sting of taxes. Maybe then more people will start recognizing what taxes are spent on and realize they don’t need all this government.
Look for a run on unwed births!
HIGHLY discriminative against adults who have NO KIDS..
