How is this not discriminatory?

It is discriminatory, but the GOP doesnt care.

I wonder if they lose the tax break if they find out the husband is cheating on the wife.

This legislation is bizarre on many levels.

While I can see promoting families, this is stupid.

History shows that there are many good marriages (both hetero AND non-hetero) so there's a discriminatory aspect right there. But there are also many marriages which are toxic, where abused spouses find it hard to escape... why make it even harder?

This is the usual flimsy naive crap that Republicans peddle without actually understanding what it is that they are selling.

Ha ha, most republicans I know have been divorced.

Brilliant. The families with the most children will pay the least in taxes for the services they are the biggest users of.

That’s always been the GOP’s genius.

This shows the way the power behind GOP is confident the US can go: openly discriminatory. They know the religious tribunal will rubber stamp it, Roberts especially.

Imagine if Biden wanted to send a $10,000 check to every LGBT American. Republicans would be so mad but they think it's okay to openly discriminate against people that are queer, people that are single parents, and people that have had a divorce. They're trying to create The Handmaid's Tale one law at a time.

Well yes of course. You incentivize things you like and punish things you don't like. That's governing 101.

Republicans should promote intact heterosexual families because they are the foundation of the nation. Democrats support anything that undermines a healthy society, so they subsidize LGTBQP+ people, single parents, divorcees, criminals, etc...

The historical analogy that best fits this moment is probably President Wilson’s 1913 order to segregate the federal government work force.

It really feels like the Republicans are building up to a similar discriminatory moment of magnitudes
