And the cost should be borne by single men.
- DannoHung 14y agoYeah, dudes who intend to never reproduce should get some sort of tax credit as long as they submit to a sterilization procedure.

- calinet6 14y agoSmall price to pay for the continuation of the species. Quit your whining. Maybe they should build a nursery for the single men, too.
- zorpner 14y agoScrew you, seriously. You want to remove childbearers from the workforce? You want to reduce everyone's employment experiences by diminishing the market of employees and ideas? You want your ten bucks a year so that you can say you don't support single mothers (note -- extensive public health research demonstrates that productivity and well-being of women of child-bearing age is the best indicator of the overall health of a society)? Why should society give you anything at all? Why should my tax dollars go towards protecting you from crime, or paying your emergency room bills? And I mean you, specifically, not people in general -- if you don't want to contibute to make everyone's lot better, why should anyone give a crap about you, or for that matter your opinions?
- Muzza 14y agoI see I hit a sore spot. I don't really want to remove childbearers from the workforce, but I do want a frank discussion about who bears the costs. Actually, just an admission of the inherent injustice of the system would be nice. Ten bucks a year? Screw you. I pay roughly 70% of my income in taxes every year. And holy thoughtcrime Batman! Despite paying tens of thousands of dollars every year in taxes, all government services should be denied to me just because of my opinions? http://mises.org/daily/2485 http://mises.org/daily/2485
- jrs235 14y agoThe tax credits and possible cost of guaranteed time off with pay for having children is nothing compared to the immense cost of raising children that will pay future taxes to allow for the continuance of government and government services.
- skore 14y agoComments like this make me think that the cost should indeed be borne by single men, exclusively.
