Hmmm. Perhaps creepy Vance has never filled out a tax form himself.

"Americans without children should pay higher taxes."

You know that child exemption box? On both federal and state taxes (at least here in Massachusetts)? Yeah, for over half a century, I've never checked that box so I've always paid higher taxes. Furthermore, while my property tax is calculated based on property size and condition, etc., so I don't necessarily pay "higher" taxes than my childbearing neighbors, the school budget is a huge percentage of the property tax in this tiny town of 350 residents and I've been subsidizing people's kids' education for over 30 years now.

I believe that the rightwing "need" for breeding more white children is a justification in their warped minds for the existing campaign against women's rights, not the reverse. How threatened they must be now that more women are admitted to college--and graduating--than are men.

It is beyond absurd (and many other more derogatory descriptors could also be used) that this is a subject that needs rebutting.
