<p class="MsoNormal">Why would I possibly want to get behind this? Now I understand that parenting is falling upon women during the pandemic, especially, and that’s not fair. Except, well, they decided to have to children. Why should I want to see parents
have tax breaks? If it is a pain in the ass to have kids, maybe people will stop doing it?<o:p></o:p></p>
