You already pay more taxes if you don’t have children… (child tax credits, dependents in household, etc)
Ah. The new class war. Parents vs the childless. What bullshit
So I just have to impregnate a bunch of women and I get to live for free right? What’s the America that JD Vance wants?
They have completely flipped around. They are now the welfare Queens. They are the triggered snowflakes. They are the one’s calling for defunding law enforcement.
It’s almost like they stand for absolutely nothing
This is literally already the case. Parents get tax deductions.
How about since he views parents as having more of a stake in americas future, they can pay extra taxes. Why the fuck would anybody pay more taxes for less representation, not that we have much anyway for what we already do pay.
Considering that parents get a Child Tax Credit ($2,000 per child I think?) and I pay property taxes to fund public schools (I don’t mind) I’d say I’m already being taxed in order to subsidize other people’s children
I have no problem paying to subsidize children (regardless of who their parents are, children aren’t property), because I care about the future of this country and those children will run this country one day. I just don’t want the law written to punish me for not having kids, especially not when they’re talking about taking my voting rights away over it.
Give parents a bigger tax credit. Increase taxes for schools. Throw as much money at the children as you want, I won’t complain, I’ll keep paying my share and will celebrate a society that actually prioritizes outcomes for all children, instead of just children of wealthy parents.
