What they are doing is great...what I don’t agree with is the government handing out tax payer’s money for any reason at all. I totally reject any kind of government welfare.
Is it welfare? Only if one presumes it is the government’s money to begin with.
They are getting a tax credit for the adoptions against taxes paid. Those accrued over years. They are taking children out of the state system. That saves the taxpayer money. The special needs kids get the full rate because they have the most expense. Those expenses may last a lifetime.
Plus, they did all this not knowing they would be receiving the money. The tax preparer found the deduction. In other words, they did it anyway scraping by to take as many as they could.
Saved the state years and years of expenses while put against taxes they paid plus their costs for the adoption plus their assumption of the full costs of the children.
Where are they getting over? I don’t see it.
