Children are not a burden, they are the future of mankind.
Every one benefits from children. While they are children, adults who look after them, teach them, tend them, have meaningful employment , putting their wages back into the society you live in.
When the children become adults they go to work, paying taxes. They teach children and apprentices. They drive trucks that deliver everything you have in your house.
They plant the fruit and vegetables you consume to survive. They run sheep and cattle and goats and pigs and...
Where would the world be without children?
For a while, a bunch of geriatrics confined to wheelchairs and beds because there will be no adult children to care for them.
Then there would be no more live humans upon the earth.
I agree that might be a good thing. Giving the natural world back to the critters.

@WalksWith genocide ? Are you referring to the Jews and Palestinians ? (Who are BOTH Caucasian ).
When the Jews started to rule them they were 200k in numbers. Under their rule there are now 3 million . Thats the worst case of genocide ever !

No but there needs to be a recognition that humans do not HAVE to create children and families in order to be accepted as 'normal'. Heck I have kids (all awesome humans) and I'm anything but 'normal' being that apparently I have ASD and am apparently neuro-divergent so don't do social stuff, friends, dating, relationships very well. But I've never asked for help to deal with being a dad.

In your logic we do not pay taxes for what we dont use, yet we all do that for so many services already. The point of the "commons" is we pool money to serve all of society for the common greater good.
Checklist taxes would implode things. That stated, there could be caps - i.e. cap deductions at the biological replacement number of two.
Above four children, one could get taxed more for the cost to maintain additional infrastructure and the cost to the natural environment that requires mitigation...

Id agree why should i pay the same amount of taxes as someone with 5 kids i work just as hard similar number of hours but im not forcing the state to babysit my kids everyday for 8 hours and transport them to and from while im at work. Its simple cost\savings. Wtf? You get it.

We are all taxed for schools because
a) it is a fundamental duty in liberal (JS Mills, not political) societies and esp. a democratic republic to educate citizens;
b) we all benefit not only from an educated citizenry, but from a citizenry which can continue to work, etc.

@Strictmichael75 my complaint regarding education spending (a favorite for republican spending cuts) is thus validated cuts should be made to military spending and transferred to domestic spending (education) and debt payments.

@jehova But it’s not the topic here

@Strictmichael75 and i previoudly voiced my agreement to the original post. I do think if i have no kids i should pay fewer taxes. Elon Musk with all those offspring should pay more taxes (and he could afford too).
