'Babies Over Billionaries' Act

mercredi 20 avril 2022 à 00:20

The "Babies not Billionaires" bill is another version of the billionaire's tax. the billionaire's tax.

Its feature is that it would require the IRS to audit annually everyone with over $100 million in assets. No more harping on poor people's child tax credit.

I support the substance of this bill because it will help make sure no children in the US have to grow up in poverty. But I dislike the name of this bill because it spreads the dangerous, obsolete idea that there is something good about having babies. On the contrary, it is important to reduce the birth rate to a low number.
