as long as parents have only 1 or 2 kids

they'll mostly be able to support them

in middle class homes yes

but in lower income homes it's much harder to support a child

especially as a single parent

which is why welfare exists

it allows families to be supported by government aid

and helps them be propped up

yes but if the rich are taxed and more money goes to those poorer house holds the lower classes would have a much higher quality of life

welfare and minimum wage does not equal a good standard of living

taxing the rich means that the rich will want to have less people hired and those lower class people will not be hired as frequent

GG @Deleted User, you just advanced to level 2!

the rich will take their businesses out of the country and just leave because they're being unfairly taxed

not necessarily

and then no one gets any money

yes

necessarily

they won't stay if they're going to be taxed as hard

if they get taxed then it leads them to less profit

i'm not saying tax them super hard

but increase there taxes

less profit means it's not as good as other countries that tax the same

i know,

increasing them will do this regardless

because it's still not as profitable for them

tell me,

say i'm a business owner

and i have a business and i want to sell my product

and theres two countries i can market this two:

a country that has laws which tax me more because i simply have money

or a country that taxes everyone the same

i'd chose the country that taxes the same

since it'll make me more money

it makes the country that taxes me more less appealing because i lose more money

that's how the world market works

and that's why nations like zimbabwe have stalled behind and lacked

because usually with the government getting less money cause theres less money in the country in general

it leads to more corruption

more violence

and maybe even authoritarian dictatorships

which i'm sure you don't like
