Look, you can carry on your whole life believing that breeders are out there gaming some lucrative system - but they just aren't. If that's your objection..the hill you'd die on..that's probably why you get ripped to shreds when you bring it up. It's not a thing..but poverty is...and the way we do it is pretty horrid..but -that- is what compromise over social welfare looked like. Cant just hand people cash, even though that demonstrably works. Nope..tax breaks and voucher programs.
We'll probably not end up seeing eye to eye here..so, tldr version. Those tax breaks don't exist for the reason you think they do, people don't take them for the reason you think they do, and taking them away will not do anything that you imagine they would do. You don't have to take my word for any of this, you can look it up for yourself. Start with something simple, like how birth rates declined while child subsidies and poverty increased. Seems that we weren't incentivized.
