Doesn't that just incentivize single motherhood?

Fine, but you're also incentivizing women to get divorced. They get full support of themselves AND the child no matter what?
I mean those kids have parents willing to help them out. For many that same story ends very differently.
Probably the one it's roughest on is your buddy. That poor bastard thought he was kid free or close to it.
I’m skeptical about any proposed constitutional amendment. Just not enough consensus these days.
But, if there was one that could win the support of 38 state legislatures, it would have to be one is that is fairly lax like this.
More likely though, we’ll just see the states each pass their own legislation. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Let’s fix this problem….forced marriage until the kids are 18.
Yup…get er done by 22…free and clear by 40 for cougar season.
And….the taxpayers will save a ton of money
Great idea but the left will never agree. To them if the “thing” in her belly is an inconvenience the last day before birth, they want the right to kill it.
DANC, you are right when you bring up the emotional and scientific importance of what you call "the thing", or "the baby", during the various steps of the pregnancy process.
Stoll, glad you took my mistake with a chuckle when mixing you up with our good friend Danc.
Danc a great guy. He likes to give dems a hard time. Me and Danc don’t post with your smoothness.
Two on the Mount Rushmore of quality posters in stoll and DANC
Quite a few worthy but if you’re going to start the discussion you can start with DANC and stoll
Nominate MM66, who like Teddy Roosevelt carries a big stick.
I don't know what his expertise is, but he's described what actually is happening pretty accurately. Had a brief Index drop, but things are looking kinda bleak...
People have kicked around instituting a national sales tax on top of state. Get rid of income irs etc. it’s a fascinating topic. I don’t know enough about Econ to have a strong opinion but would like to hear from others
Canada relies a lot on VAT, both national and provincial. I'm not sure about the details, but there's a rebate back to those who qualify to offset the regressive nature of such a tax.
What is, “Things Trump says to arouse his base but has no intention of really doing”.
If the VAT (value added tax) puts some below an agreed upon poverty line they then might qualify for "free cheese".
When government does something new, it usually causes adjustments in other programs. One thing leads to another.
Governing and legislating if done properly isn't easy.
Yup. You presently have an enormous number of folks paying zero income taxes who would get whacked hoot
MM66, how about government subsidies to help families in American poverty zones move to communities who have jobs for "immigrants"?
Put immigrants in quotes as we have lots of Americans who would benefit from a move just like those coming from places such as Venezuela.

So you're saying relocate American families to places that need jobs with govt. subsidies? I've never heard that mentioned before. On it's face, I think it sounds great.
There might be some allowances already. I recall a question in my tax software that asks if I've relocated for work or some such.
I think hoot's idea, if I'm running with it, would involve advertising and recruitment. I like it.
