Several countries have taken significant measures to try to encourage people to have more children and combat falling birth rates, but the U.S. is not one of them. Although the Department of Transportation was recently directed to give precedence to “communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average,” earlier this month.
Now Musk, who President Donald Trump tapped to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has vocalized support for tax incentives for mothers.
Cool. SO those of us who can’t or won’t breed have to subsidize the ones who do. Fuck that shit.
It’s not just the breeders. People are subsidized just for performing the religious ritual known as “marriage”. It’s a handout to the religious and heteronormative that oppresses everybody else. Always has been.
Children are the future generation. As much as musk is a shit hole, you’re also a selfish bastard for not wanting to allow children to grow up secure. Do you hate paying for school?
Fast forward. Retirement homes, health care workers, etc. Definitely will be the kids of now taking care of all of us as we get older.
We already do with a welfare system that incentivises un(der)employed single mothers with multiple children.
Even a married couple with multiple kids and minimum wage jobs can achieve a higher standard of living with entitlements than a single person with no kids, college education, and a job making above minimum wage.
