Why can't everybody keep this tax spin debate honest? Tax breaks are for taxpayers. Tax breaks for the poor is WELFARE. My youngest son has four kids, pays no income tax and gets about $4,000 per year back from the earned income credit! That's welfare in my book. Now the dems want to give him a payroll deduction rebate . Then he'll not have to pay much into social security.

Raising children is expensive. Businesses are not being taxed on their costs, they are taxed on on what is left after. Children penalty tax is not fair - children are human beings no less than grown-up and they should be counted toward FULL personal exemptions.

Child penalty tax leads to the import of young people from Third World countries (Mexicans at best and Muslims at worst). People like your son by raising four American children are doing a great service to the country, much greater than Wall Street speculators.
