Someone making 2.5 million and paying 1.25 million in taxes supports the others with less benefits.
This is the first example that came to my mind. What are your thoughts on this?
I hear your emotional plea, but I can’t find logic or rationality behind it.
Data shows that lowering the cost of education doesn't increase birth rate. Otherwise Germany, which has 100% free education through college, would have a high (and increasing) birth rate.
The same is true for every country that has developed economically. Stability/security reduce birth rate.
It makes sense, doesn't it? Having a child is a huge emotional, physical, and financial burden, regardless of the cost of education. The government would have to give people an astronomical amount of money to make it feel like people were "getting paid" to have kids, and even then, I still doubt they would.
Children take an enormous toll on people's lives and bodies. As an example, the Japanese government is trying to get people to have them, and they just won't.
We need much higher taxes on millionaires.
I don’t know what to make of this pointless back and forth..
If you think someone who creates products is less productive than say...a supermarket check out employee, I have nothing more to contribute to this back and forth. Have a nice day.
