A tripling of the PERSONAL deduction, for any body that emits greenhouse gases and 310K blackbody radiation (regardless of age) would be acceptable. Specifying who does and doesn’t qualify is liberal social engineering.

Children are of more use to society that the retired. They are an investment in the future society whereas the old have exceeded their societal use. That is not to say they should not be cared for, it is to say that those who are having children are the ones that should be aided in their efforts with increased tax advantages.

Like it or not, all that government chooses to involve itself in creates social engineering either intentionally or unintentionally. The fact that the government taxes productivity is in itself social engineering. If they did away with income taxes, that act alone would be a form of social engineering. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, or so says Newton.

In order to propagate society and further its’ ends, a future and growing generation is an absolute imperative. We need look no farther than the stagnant economies and dying societies of Japan and much of Western Europe to see the economic chaos associated with a declining population.

Don't even get started on the Statist claims of greenhouse gas emissions or Plank's Statistical references of Black Body Radiation.

The Malthusian claims should at this point be completely debunked, yet the Statist social architects, abortion loving ‘family planners’ and the death cult of Leftist ideology fails to notice that the only cause of hunger ANYWHERE on Earth is a the retrograde acts of government. Particularly in the unfortunate Continents of Africa and Asia.

Where the classic liberal democracies take hold, IE: Western style culture and government, there is no hunger. You should judge society by the girth of its’ poorest classes. Michelle Obama speaks incessantly to this with a forked tongue. That is when she is not vacationing.

As far as the tripling of the personal deduction for everyone. I am all for that, but the personal deduction is already $8,700 for the head of Household and $11,900 for a married couple. While the deduction for the most expensive person, a child, is only $3,700. The deductions for ALL dependents should be increased to at least the standard deduction of the primary tax payer.

This would free up much needed income to allow for the ability of one parent to stay home and raise the children. Particularly young children. It would also spur the natural economic spending associated with growing families such as, housing, auto purchases, clothing purchases and all the consumer activity that is key to an expanding economy.
