Yelling "Fire" in a crowded place

So by your logic we should eliminate ADC (Aid to Dependent Children), quit increasing the welfare check every time they drop another baby and cut out birth control, breast feeding and the "Well Mommy" crap that's in the Obamacare fiasco. Great. I like it.

 

It isn't. I pay what I pay and you pay what you pay. You are not paying anymore because I am paying less. It is an individual income tax system.

The tax code reflects the reality that it takes a certain amount of money to eat, and that you should be able to exempt a little bit of that per person. In a screwy system with a billion different deductions you really can't say it shows favortism for anything.

As long as I have to subsidize your Democratic Party campaign contributions you have to subsidize my kids.

 

So? My taxes are subsidizing poor folks decision to have kids. Why should my taxes be used for that? Apples and apples Hoss.

 

What is unfair about different types of income being taxed differently? They have different amounts of risk and result in different economic outcomes. Why would they be treated the same?

In a system so broken and concoluted nothing can be unfair.

Because it takes money to support a family. The more folks in the family results in more funds being needed. A tax system which treats a family of 5 the same as a family of 2 disincentives people from having children which robs society of its most important asset, the ability to continue.

It also makes the economy less efficient by taking money out of the pockets of people who will spend it, and puts it into government coffers. How is that good for any of us?

When people have more of their own money, they do 1 of 2 things with it. Spend it or invest. Either of those things will become drivers for job creation and economic growth.

Nonsense. I explained this to you already. Tax breaks are not subsidies. Tax breaks allow you to keep what you have earned. Subsidies give you what someone else has earned.
