They could just not tax (or refund previous year) new parents.
This will never fly because blah blah reasons blah blah inequity, etc. But seems would help incentivize productive parents.
- al_borland 3y agoWhen certain people don’t need to pay taxes, someone else still has to pay. Either taxes need to go up for others, or the deficit grows accordingly, which is kicking the can down the road for future generations to deal with.

It's been this way nearly my entire life and I'm middle aged. I’d personally rather fund more children and new families, then whatever the hell happened in the past five years with the deficit. More people means more future tax payers as well.
- acdha 3y agoWe had a balanced budget at the turn of the century. What produced the deficit we have now was rich people deciding that their past tax cuts weren’t enough and several wars of choice with expensive occupations, not investing in future citizens.
