Yeah, it makes zero sense to support tax incentives to procreate while also discouraging legal immigration.

Assuming that’s why you support the credits. I just view them as a way to provide some monetary relief for parents who gotta feed those little guys.

Yes, it's this. With that in mind they should phase it out after a minimal income threshold.

I mean they do, but it's $400k for married couples. Ridiculously high.

But renters should be able to deduct property tax too, they are the ones actually paying for it  :th_twocents:

You shouldn't means test supporting children.  The tax credit is one of the absolute worst ways to do it though.  Should just cut people a check every month and have Social Security run it.

I'll complain about it here for entertainment purposes but tbh I'm fine paying more. like I posted earlier, our prop taxes fund the schools (which are great) so it's cool.

I see value in all taxes I pay honestly. Even not having kids I get funding our schools is important and for the common good.

I'd prefer we don't spend billions on new roads that don't do much but encourage sprawl but those are funding mainly with gas tax that I pay little of so go crazy folks.

Yeah, that’s the good thing about gas tax. It funds the thing it uses.

Another NE complaint: garbage corn gas is supplemented by the state to help the garbage corn farmers. I use it in my vehicles but I’m not putting that crap in my lawnmower or snow blower because according to my lawn guy idiot neighbor it’s bad for them. Then you have to drive to like 3 different gas stations to even find gas with no ethanol.

Corn gas is the way it is because of air quality and climate change provisions.

I noticed virtually no change from last year to this year.

I thought one side said trump saved the middle class and the other side said trump would screw the middle class?

Second biggest lie in this thread, just behind SD and his stable of lies.

No you don't.
