As your fellow American I am just trying to keep as much of my hard earned money and not give it to the governement - you know, a principle of conservatism and individualism - you aren't subsidizing my children. It is the obligation of the government to recognize and respect marriage and the family as institutions created by God in anyway they can - even by the tax code if so be.
Conservatives in blue states are being orphaned by the GOP for the sake of a win. They could of just slashed all the tax rates and lowered the corporate tax rate in a one page bill - but no, they can't keep it simple because they are the party of stupid.
“...It is the obligation of the government to recognize and respect marriage and the family as institutions created by God in anyway they can - even by the tax code if so be.”
Right - that’s why they legalized abortion on demand, Title X family “planning” funding (read “contraceptives” - an anonymous form of abortion), no-fault divorce, and same sex “marriage.”
Fact is, if they just made a flat tax of 10% FOR EVERYBODY - no deductions, no loop holes, no giveaways, no exceptions - none of this would be an issue, and they’d have more revenue than they knew what to do with.
Of course, this would also drastically limit the federal government’s power to manipulate, coerce, and otherwise defraud the American people.
