"Why stop there though why do we subsidize someone with a tax credit just because they have children?"

That's a very good question.

Agree on eliminating tax credits because you have children. While we're at it, let's look at ALL subsidies - including tax credits given to corps who move jobs overseas, and subsidies farmers receive for not to growing certain crops.

BTW, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates both said they're in favor of eliminating the tax cuts they've enjoyed for the past 10yrs - THAT is the top 1% most people refer to when discussing tax cuts for the "rich".

interesting how Obama campaigned that he wanted a standardized type deduction for mortgages on the 1040 form for up to $10k

and how that's been forgotten
