JD Vance has never argued for higher tax rates on couch fuckers. Coincidence?

What in the fuck is with this guy? He's got some kink towards punishing people without kids, or what?

My question, what about thise that have had miscarriages, stillborn, children that have died before 18? Since according to them,, life begins at conception, do they not count? Or only children that can contribute to the labor force or military service count?

And what an ass he is.

Reading the article he also said that parents should be able to cast votes on behalf of their minor children, which is much more alarming to me.

Jesus. Republicans will tax anything and anyone except rich people and rich people accessories.

Technically, we already do pay more in taxes because we don't get to claim dependents or receive any child tax credits.

They really want that "trickle down" to work. Remember, Putin is still holding Trump's piss tapes. They're all absolutely fascinated by pissing on people.
