is that really the reason? we should just kill those incentives and invite more immigrants. red and i are being discriminated against because women wont hang out with us and bear our annoying children.
It is a large part of it. All those old folks and near old folks on Social Security want lots of children to keep slaving away to pay their benefits.
That IS NOT THE ISSUE. You've gone off on another tangent. Pay attention, the issue is whether those making most of their income from investments deserve to pay 20% less than those of us who earn income from salaries and business profits. I know this is difficult for you to understand.
Yes. The tremendous suffering cuased each of us by the deficit. I quake every time the phone rings because it might be the Chinese wanting to know if I'm going to be able to make that 14 trillion dollar payment. More seriously, if deficits are such a terrible thing why do you bend over backwards defending a President who is the all time deficit champ? How do you know what someone else owes or should owe? Are these rich folks or middle class guys like me who pay less than you think we should doing something illegal? I welcome you to audit my documents.
i dont get tax breaks because i dont have kids? i want equal protection under the law. clearly discriminatory to favor child-bearers.
There is no discrimination. You can have the breaks as soon as you get yourslf some kids. And then its retroactive to the begining of the year. If you are smart you can adopt a baby on 12/31/11 then return it on 1/1/12. Unless you are a functionally impotent that has been ruled mentally unfit for adoption you are good to go.
What, are you suggesting that the deficit isn't the biggest problem on earth? Turn in your ring-wing ID card. I can read.
