I agree, and support Newt. That being said, the plan is not bad. It does drive home the need to change the tax system in favor of business. Just lowering the tax to 17% would be a boon to industry. Tripling the child deduction is long over due. The fact is the taxes are what strangles family and forces booth parents to work in order to maintain a middle class house hold.

The child tax deduction does not need to be tripled — it needs to be abolished.

Remember, every tax deduction that favors one person is using government force to take those same tax dollars from somebody else. People should only have children if they can afford them on their own — not by forcing their childless neighbors to carry their tax burden.

This type of thinking is Rick’s problem — he thinks government social engineering is great ... as long as he’s the one doing the dictating of what is “good” and “bad” behavior.

The goal for our country is not to provide enough welfare, redistributive justice and transfer payments so that no one ever has to live in the lower class. There have been plenty of wonderful people who grew up in a poor family or the lower class and worked their way up.

The only part I have a major problem with is the manufacturer part, because it screams favoritism, and, how does one define “manufacturer”?

I would also like to see that the tripled child exemption is only useable if married filing jointly.
