This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

I read that trumps vice president candidate suggested that before too.

Does the tax go away after a certain age?

Like when peoples kids grow up do you start paying the tax again? What if you’re too old to have kids? Do you still need to pay the tax?

It’s a dumb idea, but it’s probably going to happen.

Trump's VP supports it as a work around to punish those in "alternative" lifestyles that traditionally don't have children to remove their voice in society.

Also those of us without kids already pay more in taxes
