I do cause that deduction is available to me.
Some are not like business things. I don’t own a business at all so I can not deduct those things.
child credit has been available I think since WW1 or WW2.
It’s available to anyone that has kids.
loan forgiveness and child tax credits are not the same.
I didn’t have kids to get a tax credit. It was my choice to have a child yes I used the tools given to get a credit set forth by our government.
loans forgiveness isn’t the same thing. I mean if they said going forward from such date these situations can be compared.
you planned I assume to pay them. Like kids both optional and like kids they become your responsibility to take care of once acquired.
the deduction isn’t deserved I just take advantage of it. Like businesses do. That’s a whole tax code problem. 45 tried to write off his whole operation
I mean we probably both homeowners and write off our interest.
We choose to buy homes and why should we write off our loans to pay for homes that earn value. Why cause we can it’s offered.
I think that’s a better analogy. I say all this with debating respect as well.
Sorry, not buying it. You basically are admitting your hypocritical aspect to your argument while being on some....
steez.
You take advantage of a government subsidy that you didn't earn (actually you could choose not to) but is available to you, yet you rail against someone else getting a government benefit because they didn't earn it.
So what when the child tax credit was put in place. The fact remains it is a policy choice we made because we wanted to help a group of people what society felt deserve it, and there is an economic benefit from having the childcare credit that society as a whole benefit from. People that raise kids before the policy was put in place didn't benefit, people without kids don't benefit. This is the same logic for student loan forgiveness. Society didn't control the cost of college, society pressured young people to take on large amounts of debts to acquire degrees so they can smoothly enter the middle class. And if we wipe away that debt then they will be millions of dollars available to people to spend in the economy and stimulate it.
Your argument seems centered around not economics, but the supposed worthiness of the recipient of the benefit. That is really all your are offering here.
You are so upset about people bragging about not paying their student loans because of a change in government policy. But they would be doing just like what you are doing is not so unlike you, they are benefiting from a government policy. Again remember, while many would have acquire the benefit without asking, you opt into it every year.
No one told you to have kids, yet you benefit at tax time. Millions without kids won't
No one told us to buy homes., yet we benefit at tax time because of a government policy. Millions of renters won't
Society actually tells kids they need to go get those degrees, and they now might benefit from a government policy. And millions of people without student debt won't
So really, if your argument now just hinges of the difference between an opt-in and a mandated benefit, and expectation, then your argument is flimsy.
