Jesus. Republicans will tax anything and anyone except rich people and rich people accessories.
Technically, we already do pay more in taxes because we don’t get to claim dependents or receive any child tax credits.
If those temporarily embarrassed millionaires could read, they’d be really upset
Reading the article he also said that parents should be able to cast votes on behalf of their minor children, which is much more alarming to me.
Probably to increase the amount of quiverfull families who’ll vote a certain way.
Let me guess, conservatives have larger families than liberals and progressives?
I know a few that can field a full baseball team. I have no idea how they go anywhere together as a full family.
These days, look for any family in America with 5 or more minor children and find a “devout Christian” as the patriarch.
Mormons are famous for this, and they support their breeder mentality by tapping into the same government resources they say they despise, sometimes venturing into fraud.
What in the fuck is with this guy? He’s got some kink towards punishing people without kids, or what?
My question, what about thise that have had miscarriages, stillborn, children that have died before 18? Since according to them, life begins at conception, do they not count? Or only children that can contribute to the labor force or military service count?
And what an ass he is.
Nobody counts but him and his lifestyle, apparently. If you’re not doing what he’s doing, go fuck yourself.
I honestly just think he realized too late that he got suckered into a lifestyle he just fucking hates, so his jealousy turns to people living the life he wants, so he’s out to make them as miserable as he is.
Alright I’ve seen a lot of people call this guy a couch fucker, what’s going on?
Someone posted an intentionally and obviously fake post saying Vance fucked a couch using an inverted rubber glove and people just kinda ran with it
They only want more people to churn out more people so they can become uneducated pawns.
This is a very real sentiment in conservative circles who believe that people exist to reproduce.
I mean that’s kind of a biological fact.
I don’t believe in any of that fairy tale nonsense by the way 😂
The only reason for life is to make more life, basically there is no meaning. And that’s okay, somehow beautiful
The difference is humans have self-awareness. It is very clear that not having children is a great idea, and good for the country.
Because people who use the least civic resources should pay the most?
Tbf children are a super valuable thing to a country.
It’s why governments freak when birth rates get low.
The machine needs bodies to function after all.
They’ll go so far as to do anything except any of the things that make happy, productive people more likely to feel inclined or comfortable having children.
Parental leave so people can be there when their child is born? Affordable or accessible daycare? A world that accommodates any workplace flexibility? Basic affordable healthcare? A world with some degree of optimism for the state they’re bringing their children into?
Nah, a once a year tax rebate covering a month or two of daycare should be more than enough.
It’s also why the abortion and birth control issues are front and center for the GOP, they know that they aren’t going to convince any new voters to join so they need to rely on their constituents giving birth to and raising the new generation of conservative voters.
Catholic church did the same thing for the same reason.
Didn’t Fascist Italy do this at some point in time?
I used to love reading about the magnificently bad sociological choices that dictators make while in power to support their ideals.
I can see Mussolini’s mentality: "We need more Italians, that happens from birth. People who don’t birth children are contrary to this goal and are a detriment to the country and therefore worthy as a target for social correction.
*Some time after implementing changes*
Mussolini: Why are all the single people committing suicide?
