I have no children that I am aware of.
Just because taxes are reduced for others, doesn't mean they are increased for you. It just means they are reduced for those people. Its not like they said "lets do a child tax credit, and make up for it my taxing childless parents more". Besides, having kids does that dastardly thing like keeping the country existing. In the long term view, its better for the government to encourage the nuclear family for the health of the republic and its future.
None yet, but my wife and I are trying for our first.
I don't have any children. I'm subsidizing the rest of you who do. You're welcome.
Who pays more taxes? Marriage and children give you all sorts of tax benefits. I still pay for your public schools, I still pay my full share of the tax burden, even for those parks which are used well more by families than single people. Hell y'all even get breaks on your mortgage for being married; all that money has to be made up elsewhere and it is the single people who get to make it up. You can have enough kids to completely remove your federal tax liability. Sure, the first kid is expensive; but once you have one the next isn't nearly as so.
Families have been living off the back of single folk for a long time now; not paying their fair share.
So again, you're welcome.
My three children will be subsidizing your social security, you're welcome.
2 boys. They are 3 and 2.
I'm sorry. Busy years.
Yeah, the 2 year old had his birthday this past Tuesday. He is taking the "terrible twos" to heart. Luckily, we have seen significant progress in potty training the past couple of weeks with the 3 year old, so things are getting better.
Hang in there, and then brace for the teenage years. If you get through that with at least half your mind, you will have done well.
LOL! I'm praying and hoping that my kids are a lot like me and my husband when we were teenagers, because then I will have a couple of good students who should be into some sports and possibly theater and like to read a lot. They are also not very likely to get into trouble with the law, especially if they are a little closer to how I was as a teen, although I would like them to have a little more of my husband's confidence. We'll have to see though.
I have three, ages 23, 18, and 15.
