Considering that parents get a Child Tax Credit ($2,000 per child I think?) and I pay property taxes to fund public schools (I don’t mind) I’d say I’m already being taxed in order to subsidize other people’s children
I have no problem paying to subsidize children (regardless of who their parents are, children aren’t property), because I care about the future of this country and those children will run this country one day. I just don’t want the law written to punish me for not having kids, especially not when they’re talking about taking my voting rights away over it.
Give parents a bigger tax credit. Increase taxes for schools. Throw as much money at the children as you want, I won’t complain, I’ll keep paying my share and will celebrate a society that actually prioritizes outcomes for all children, instead of just children of wealthy parents.

Just remember JD doesn’t think you’re pulling your fair share.
