Slarti Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 28 minutes ago, StanleySaint said: Love to see the half-baked rationale in that thinking! Not just the rationale, also the definition of a "childless couple". If a couple has one child, do the couple become a "childless couple" when that child becomes an adult? If 2 couples (persons A and B ) and (persons C and D) both have children then split, end up with each other's ex partners (2 new couples (A and C) and (B and D)) but all the children live with one of those new couples, is the other couple now a "childless couple" even they both have children? Or are neither of them "childless couples"? Is a couple, where one person has children from a previous relationship who live with their ex, a childless couple if they don't have children together?

It's one of the pitfalls of the welfare state, you continually need more people paying taxes to pay for those not paying. That includes unemployment, pensions and everything else.

Also, what about couples who can't have kids? Would they need to adopt to pay less tax or would the birth parents qualify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazil85 Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 The Tories that actually backed Bojo in the confidence vote must feel like absolute tools by this point. There’s no excuse for them though, his incompetence and immorality was beyond doubt before this latest car crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
