Very well written piece!

I find it unfortunate given the environmental devastation that our tax law provides incentives for people to have kids. Instead, we should charge people annual carbon tax to offset the pollution created by their offsprings.

“The credit is worth $2,000 per qualifying child, and households with qualifying children can claim the Child Tax Credit for every child who qualifies with no upper limit. For example, if you have three children ages 14, 12, and 9, you can take the credit for each of them — a total of $6,000.”
