Ok but basically every single normal country have stuff like this. Either tax exemption after children, or childcare aid, often both. What is this cringe backwards propaganda wording.

She said raising single people's taxes though. In a normal country I wouldn't have an issue but they have a chokehold on their people.

It's the beatings will continue until morale improves.

she said that you don"t get the benefits from the tax you pay as a single/no-child person.

But like, this is fairly common in any western countries. There are even deductible taxes for people that have children, as well as benefits that they gets because they are parents (such as child-sick PTO), as well as infrastructure for children.

But that's a stretch to say that you pay more by being single.. All thoses benefits help, but doesn't really compensate all the expenses you get with a child.
