Everyone should pay higher taxes so that Mrs. Obama can enjoy another much-deserved vacation!!
…
Nope.
Social engineering through tax rates is nowhere in the Constitution, and FedGov has no business doing it. Tax law should serve the purpose of collecting revenue - only. [Note: I personally would benefit a lot from this proposal, but cronyism is wrong, even when it’s an overreach in my favor.]
Conservative? Slate.com?
Thats on oxymoron.
It seems that the main point of the article is to label the writer as "conservative". I originally read the article on the BBC site and it was simply a conservative-bashing screed. A lot of "dog-whistle" phrases as the left likes to put it.
MONEY(taxes) is heroin to government giving it to them(it) is a negative procedure..
COLD Turkey is the only recourse..
If givernment is NOT suffering...... YOU ARE!..
Krystal needs to look at her 1040 form, specifically lines 42, 48, and 51.
There should be a tax break for raising kids
I would argue the OPPOSITE.
Your “carbon Footprint” is smaller (throw that in their faces). Everything you do is fractionally smaller than those who have families.....yet they are looking for more money from them.
No, those without children should receive a partial refund of property taxes.

In the long term, a country that doesn’t keep itself populated (and populated by its original people) simply dies off and is repopulated by whatever fills the vacuum.
And long term is not that long, as Europe as we know it, will be gone in less than 3 generations - us a generation or two later.
If people are cool with that, I feel sorry for them. If they have kids and are cool with leaving that future to them, they are about as selfish as I can imagine.
Don’t we already do something like this and it’s resulted in single parents and folks who really can’t afford them popping them out over and over to get more welfare checks?
“WELFARE MOMS FOR JUSTICE!”
We are already paying deadbeat welfare vermin to have babies and they ain’t white! Hell, they are spitting babies out like wet watermelon seeds now and just think how many they will spit out if they get the incentive to produce more.
I’ve lived long enough to see the demise of our nation into a cesspool of leeches the those who have absolutely no intention in integrating into our society nor being responsible for their own actions.
With Obama, we are at the tipping point and it would not surprise me (if I live a few years longer) if they rounded up whites (especially males) and put them in internment camps so the GREAT SOCIETY could advance without obstruction.
We already do. We don’t have the extra individual deductions. We don’t have tax breaks for day care or health care.
“Nonparents should pay higher taxes so that lower- and middle-income parents can receive a much-deserved tax break. That’s the proposal of conservative Slate.com columnist Reihan Salam.”
Lower and middle income parents already pay less. How about dependent deductions, child care credits, and the best of all the earned income credit. For households qualifying these can add up to $8,000 ~ $10,000 of tax returns. Not only do many of these folks not pay any net federal taxes (50% don’t) about half of those 50% actually pay net negative taxes! meaning as an example if FICA withholdings should be $2,000 an individual meeting the right criteria could receive back after filing an IRS check for perhaps $10,000 or more. Not bad, huh?
Leave it to dhimmicrats to always want to raise taxes; it’s all one way w/ them.
In some ways, people without children already pay higher taxes. They pay property taxes for schools without putting children in them. They don’t get child tax credits.
