Obama's Science Czar: Traditional family is obsolete, punish large families
The Washington Examiner ^ | 07-15-2009 | David Freddoso

Posted on 07/15/2009 11:57:59 AM PDT by lifeisacarnival

"As United States taxpayers know, income tax laws have long implicitly encouraged marriage and childbearing...Such a pronatalist bias of course is no longer appropriate. In countries that are affluent enough for the majority of citizens to pay taxes, tax laws could be adjusted to favor (instead of penalize) single people, working wives, and small families. Other tax measures might also include high marriage fees, taxes on luxury baby goods and toys, and removal of family allowances where they exist. Other possibilities include the limitation of maternal or educational benefits to two children per family."

It’s not an inequity, it’s a policy designed to encourage people to have children for the future of our society.

You, as an individual, only spend on yourself; families are spending on the next generation, the people who are going to be paying your social security and taking care of you in your old age.

Eliminating tax breaks to families doesn’t punish them, it just fixes an inequity that gives them preferential treatment over individuals. They will be paying the same taxes as individuals.

They get that treatment because they are providing something that the government needs: new people to pay all those future taxes that have already been passed upon them. If nobody has them ( and we are pretty close to zero growth Arley (would be if not for immigration), then the government will have to admit that their ss and medicare transfer payments are bogus. So they won't.

Besides all the other stuff I could bring up, 8 people living in one house is going to use fewer resources per person than a single person living alone.

The purpose of his idea is to reduce the number of White Christians or Jews, while letting populations increase out of control in non-White/non-Christian countries. Then the American lefties will say “we should let them come in, since our population is dwindling. We need people to do the work Americans can’t do because we eliminated most of them”

Maybe he would like us to adopt China’s “one child policy” and do forced abortions and sterilizations while he’s at it.

This is one of dozens of Obama supporters who have been hired to do his dirty work, completely unconfirmed by anyone other than, probably, Rahm Emmanuel. These appointees are making 130k or more, I read, and ore being added every day. Is Congress funding, or Soros et al?

Yesterday I read some other, equally bad quotes from a book he authored with a couple, the Erlichs, in which he pitched totalitarian govt. having complete power over all resources, goods, health, etc. He also wanted to reduce the population for the good of the planet, and suggested one way to do it would be to put something in the water supply to make women barren. This man, Dr. John P. Holdren is a peach of a guy.

After you google all you can about him, look up Van Jones, the new green czar-ex felon who found his niche while in prison where he made best friends with radical black revolutionaries. He came out of prison a card carrying Communist.

You do not even have to connect the dots--Obama is doing this for those who care to look. Where do you think he is going with all these initiatives that require govt. aid--try the collapse of our govt. and complete dictatorship (Cloward-Piven theory, anyne)--remaking the govt. in the image he wants.

Voila! His hope becomes the change he touted and wanted and never really defined because he could not have won with it.

sounds like an early chi-com to me - i wouldn’t put much faith in what he wrote in 1977 - sounds like he got high and decided to write a “scientific book” what a libtard wacko

This guy (the science czar) has said even worse things. In his book he came out in favor of forced sterilization and abortion. He is a NAZI.

I’m confused. Does Obama want to subsidize the Octuplets Mom or punish her?

pronatalist bias

I assume this means people who want children. He is correct, in that many European countries have very low birth rates. They are also losing their identity to the Muslim "workers" who they have had to import to keep the social program payments going. A country that has children is a healthy, vibrant country. A country that discourages children is moribund.

Mark Steyn points out the same thing in regard to Euros who just can't understand why Americans have to drive these big cars. It's because Americans are still having children, and you need transport for a family, not for just two people.

Where DOES Obumble come up with these people??

This is what passes for sophisticated thought among the East Coast, Ivy League college elites. And, that, is where Obama met all his friends and collegues.

I want to know who pays the salaries of the Czars? Who approves the White House budget? The WH expenses have to have doubled or quadrupled with all of these new people and their staff not to mention all the personal flights of Air Force One.

Yup. It’s the European way. (How’s it working out for them?)

Right out of Satan’s handbook.

The family was the first institution of man, created by God.

It’s also the prime vehicle by which the knowledge of God transfers from generation to generation.

Understandable that it would be under attack by Satan’s minions.
