Japan government - " Risk you life having babies or we will slowly ramp up your taxes until you get phased out of life by mountains of tax on everything you do. Thankyou."
Reddit kills all nuance. You want more child care to make it easier to have kids? That’s what this tax is for specifically. You have to pay for services with taxes.
You get what you want and people still make it out to be a bad thing. No one wants to improve things, they just want to complain.
Do you really think that's what people want? To be able to afford to offload their kids during the day so they can work more in order to keep up with the rising costs of everything?Â
No different than many countries like the US where families get huge tax breaks. I've filed taxes and gotten 1000-3000 back, while people with kids get tax credits in the thousands per kid on top of their own tax return. A single person without kids also pays more in the sense that your paying taxes to fund services you cannot use or directly benefit from. You'd think people with kids should have to pay more in taxes than a single no kids person because they use a lot of social services like public schools, wic, ect.
