I’d like to hear the “it’s a sacrifice” argument regarding Bezos and his wallet, even if you’re just spitballing.

I dunno. Got a little spicier with that last one.The horse is dead, mate.
Because child care costs cripple the finances of the average-income family. That’s the whole purpose of the plan. To subsidize an unsustainable expense - even for the average American.
I agree with this and all you’ve said about UBI.We part ways at 'standard decision.'
I don't think we're that far apart, really. I'd just prefer my tax dollars not to discriminate. I'd prefer the money going to the absurd military to be rerouted to all families. I'd prefer the entitlement bureaucracy to be abolished in favor of an easy to administer UBI. I can't have those things so I bang away on a message board to distract myself from life. A huge portion of this country would prefer to live in squalor than see themselves and someone else supported by the tax dollars that they (maybe?) pay. It's so stupid.
Child Tax Credit isn't the worst use of funds, but it does perpetuate a broken system and doesn't address the core problem of life being too expensive for a large swath of the public despite us living in a pretty well-off country.
The chick I bang is a math teacher. I don’t think this is right.I don’t really have an opinion on the Bezos thing one way or the other but did the math and $10 million for someone that has a net worth of $200 billion is comparative to $50 for someone that has a net worth of $1 million. christ

I think what people aren’t understanding in this thread is that it’s a problem that a significant portion of Americans can’t afford to have a child - even if they are educated and employed. Do you understand how much child care costs?
You and the others who have had no inclination to breed saying “well don’t have kids then”…that’s your point. That it should be reserved for upper echelon income and that poor and “middle class” people should just ride it out childless.
Don’t worry, I think you’re right.a lot of nutsacks questioning my math in this thread
Get to making babies. You're part of the problem.I think what people aren’t understanding in this thread is that it’s a problem that a significant portion of Americans can’t afford to have a child - even if they are educated and employed. Do you understand how much child care costs?

That would actually be of significant benefit to the country, at least for the poor. Poverty is strongly associated with low intelligence. Intelligence is significantly heritable. That is, stupid people have stupid kids, who have more stupid kids. We would not be encouraging the stupid to breed. The incentives should go to the intelligent. I bet if you go to, say, CMU's robotics center or whatnot you'd find that the married people working there are childless or have no more than a couple kids. Go to a Butler Country trailer park and you'll find plenty of children being pumped out by idiots. That should be reversed. The child tax credits should be limited to, say, people with Master's degrees, and people who never graduated from high school should have to pay a tax on each child.
I wasn't. I know you have match skills.a lot of nutsacks questioning my math in this thread
This is where my head was at when thinking about this topic. A good chunk of money would go back into the economy if child care were more reasonable.Source of the post I welcome any stimulus or extra income because I use what we have to and pump the rest of it back into society
Absolutely. If you have to work and just about everything from that job goes into child care, I would be bitter as hell about the system, it's exhausting.This is where my head was at when thinking about this topic.

We did the math when mrs meow was pregnant with our first. She was a substitute teacher at the time. You need a flexible schedule with that job. Day cares are not flexible. So the math of putting mini meow in day care 5 days a week and mrs meow getting 4 sub jobs a week netted us $8 a week. Needless to say, she didn’t work for the first nine months of his life until she got hired as a day care director.Absolutely.
