brett05 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:46 AM) Marriage as a social construct makes sense though, whatever name you decide to give that construct. It allows the government to tax households rather than individuals. It sets up an easy mechanism for group health insurance. It makes the process by which property transfers from a decedent's estate much simpler. It makes a simple mechanism for pooling and discharging debt. Not to mention the fact that the marriage industry is a multi-billion dollar industry which is good for the economy. So, let me ask you this - do you have an issue with the government being involved in co-habitation? Do you have an issue with people who are not religious making civil commitments to one another? If the answer to both those questions is "no," then your issue is exclusively with the name that the state attaches to that contract. I have an issue with any special benefits applied to committed one to one, one to many, many to many relationships that those on their own cannot have as well. Its favoritism and it's wrong.

That's difficult for me to understand without my morning coffee. Is that system "phasing out" people making over 70k/110k? edit: and if you're lowering the credit to people who pay no income tax, aren't you effectively just paying people $1,000 per kid that they have?

It helps offset the costs of raising a child, but in no way does $1k make it 'profitable' to have a kid.

Profitable is relative. Someone making $3k a year isn't paying anything for their kids to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 This would help bring back a program that was removed in 90s. I understand if you disagree, but the generational effects of deep poverty are undeniable. This gives those kids more of a chance to move up. The deep poverty never gets discussed because these are those without jobs, but that in many cases due to mental health and other problems.
