Return to Article: Senator says offshore outsourcing provision must be revisited

    Why does DeLay want to subsidize children? We have enough of them and families that have many generally cannot afford them - that is no reason for us to pay for them to have kids! The $1000 child credit is an area that the government should stay away from. Tax policy should not favor having kids! If the political pressure is to favor kids then the credit should be limited to two kids with the first getting the $1000 credit and the second getting a $500 credit and nothing after two kids! Also, I would propose that the credit not be given for having children but be given for payment of school tuition with the $1000 credit for the first child and $500 for the second and nothing thereafter. If the people cannot afford a large family - they shouldn't have one! There is no reason for tax policy to subsidize large families!
