I'd wager that people with kids pay far more in taxes than those without kids, even after these minor tax breaks.

Having kids is expensive. Sales tax is paid at every step along the way for more food, diapers (or gear in general), health costs, you name it.

And it's worth also noting that this immediate and sustained windfall in kid-related consumption pays toward salaries of many other jobs, btw. Which goes toward helping the overall tax base.

And let's not forget...these kids are all rising tax payers themselves, so at best any credit now on their behalf is just a minor token deferral before these folks start paying their own vastly more significant taxes at some point.

Heh, I could go on but I'll spare ya.

That's not to say that folks don't abuse the situation at some point on the spectrum, just that your initial analysis is far from complete and perhaps sdrawkcab itself.

When it gets down to it...

You want them in that stroller. You NEED them in that stroller.

Duggar family excepted, of course.

Don't care if there families are rich or poor, as long as they pay their taxes. Presumably, the tax credits for children will help those poorer families with more children. I can understand your point regarding the greater use of resources (natural as well as economic) but ultimately they are paying their proportional share.
