1. For fucks sake. No children should not be taxed more.

[Goodheart]

4. Why not?

They use more in social services than people without children.

I have one son who is 41 who doesn't have children and doesn't want any... and he's angry that he has to pay more than his friends of the same age... and I can't blame him.

11. This is such complete bullshit. You should delete real quick

[Goodheart]

15. No, I should NOT delete real quick.

If you don't like it bug off.

20. RW talking points don't go over well here. What's next? Tick tock...

[Goodheart]

22. That's quite a curious thing to say when JD Vance is saying the EXACT OPPOSITE.

Maybe you should educate yourself.

[LizBeth]

2. Certainly not a sin, but wrong. I dont drive much at all, I do not want to pay for road repair.

My kids are all grown, ooops, stop paying for school. Wait, I use library but you dont. So add that to my taxes and take out of yours. I do not believe in war and think we are safe so no money from me for military. I mean wtf?

3. We will lose if we adopt this position -- or even entertain it.

Whether it has validity or not, it's best if we shelved this conversation for another time.

[Goodheart]

5. That much is true.

[WheelWalker]

6. Wut you say?

[MerryBlooms]

7. How about folks should pay more with elders needing care? See how this works? 🤦‍♀️

[mucifer]

8. No. IMO we are a community and need to think about the future. I say that as a

single person with no kids.

[Goodheart]

14. In my post I explained why I think the future doesn't need an ever-expanding population.

[mucifer]

19. But children shouldn't suffer because their parents decided to have lots of kids.

[brewens]

9. My plan for years has been to give a bigger break on the first kid, the same as now for the second, less for a

third and more than three and you're on your own.

I never had kids but also never objected to paying taxes to educate other's kids. The US shouldn't be in the business of promoting large families. It's not like we're trying to fill up what was thought to be empty country these days. If our system relies on continuing to grow our population, maybe we need to rethink that? There has to be a way to make sure everyone worthwhile gets paid that doesn't end op overpopulating and destroying us.

[Goodheart]

12. Quite reasonable.

[Skittles]

10. I do not concur

because the taxes I pay as a single person to help, for example, educate children and keep them healthy ultimately benefits ALL of us

[Goodheart]

13. I didn't say I didn't want to pay ANY taxes.

[MerryBlooms]

16. Yeah, you just don't want to be bothered with that pesky next generation! 😂

Good luck taking all that gold to your grave! Many have tried, none have succeeded.

[Goodheart]

25. That's a bullshit personal attack.

I have no problem with a next generation.

[msongs]

17. people with children privilege. touchy subject nt

[Skittles]

21. no I don't think people should be penalized for an extra child

nope

[Goodheart]

18. Childless adults are lone group taxed INTO poverty

23. Not alone.

[Fiendish Thingy]

24. I hope you're alone

People with more money should pay more taxes, regardless of how many children they have, and people with less money should pay lower taxes, especially if they have lots of kids.
