Republicans HATE Families

It’s been decades since the Tax Code Marriage Penalty was identified, yet the Republicans have done nothing to alleviate it – in fact they have made it worse.

The fewest children, the smallest families, are found among the top 1% of earners – the very people given the greatest tax breaks.

These people do not support local business – the mom & pop stores and supermarkets – they spend their money on luxury items that are generally manufactured overseas and are sold by high end retailers.

It is estimated that it costs $250,000 to raise a child –- or about $12,500 a year.  That $12,500 is the amount which should be available as income tax deduction, but it isn’t.  Instead the full burden of supporting the government is shifted to those who have this child based liability.  NOTE that the same people who impose this burden on those who want children, also seek to impose that burden upon those who find themselves with an unwanted and undesired pregnancy -- because the condom broke, diaphragm  shifted, vasectomy didn’t take or pill failed … events that happen at least 10% of the time.

In addition, they seek to deny the medical insurance which would cover the cost of the pregnancy.

All of these things combine to be an attack on the poor and on families.  The “Defense of Marriage Act“ was intended to attack the one group in society that actually still values marriage.

As pointed out in "SAINT PAUL'S JOKE: 'The Punch Line's A Killer'", Christian scripture mandates marriage for both gays and straights.  Hebrew scripture condemns, for medical reasons related to STD transfer, bi-sexual males and the women who facilitate that behavior.  But Christians are forbidden to impose or adopt any part of the Law – unless they adopt all 613 Laws.  When was the last time you came across a Kosher Evangelical?

Republicans stand for THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE and promote fiscal irresponsibility – a fact established by the $605 BILLION dollar military budget which, by their own assertions with regards to immigrants and the Mexican border, cannot even achieve the first obligation of a Military … to secure the national domestic borders.

Even on immigration, the Republicans reveal they are anti-family.  They have devoted their efforts on immigration, not to the prosecution of REAL Criminals who create harm to citizens and their property … NO they reward the criminals by insisting resources be devoted to breaking up the families of American Citizens, and deporting one, or both, parents.  Why, not because the parents did anything wrong – but rather because of a backlog in the INS which has delayed issuance of authorized documents.

The INS is, because Republicans have refused to properly fund it, a decade behind in the issuance of the annual allotment of Green Cards and other documents.

The Republicans HATE FAMILIES, so the tax them beyond their means, seek to disrupt them, seek to force upon the costs due to product failures, and want to stop those who seek marriage from being married.
