Most of the people pushing for higher taxes don't even have jobs in the first place. So they don't care. Doesn't effect them and if it does - the outlay of being given $3,000+ a year per child with no restrictions for 18 years is a far more lucrative prospect than the increase in taxes they'll have to pay to put into the pot.

The rest of us aren't interested in paying for the family they decided to have.[/quote]

Wrong.

I make $120K. Tax increases almost always squeeze middle class people in high COL areas like me. I would definitely feel the sting in my paycheck, but I support tax increases. I can handle a tax increase and figure out my s***. Low income families who work several jobs and can't afford childcare have more to worry about than my privileged azz deciding whether to buy a new car or take an overseas vacation this year.[/quote]
