Harris opposes the child tax credit???

No, Vance said those with children should pay a lower tax rate than those who do not.  (That is the child tax credit)

 The gov uses the tax code to punish and create incentives to cause the public and businesses to do what the gov wants. 

So as I said a twist of Harris to attack Vance.

Vance said tax rates. That is the percentage you pay on your taxable income. We already have the Child Tax Credit, he didn't just invent it.

And the government should not punish people who do not have children. That is goverment overreach at its most extreme. 

He could have suggested government-subsidized childcare or parental leave or a number of other incentives if he wants to encourage having children. But he went with saying being child -free is bad 

Vance said what he said, and if he wants to explain himself, I am open to hearing it. But I do not accept that I am bad and that the government should punish me. This post was edited by Jane S at July 27, 2024 3:09 PM MDT

No one claimed Vance invented the tax credit.  He was simply saying he agreed with using the tax code that way. To encourage Americans to have families. 

" If you are making $100,000, $400,000 a year and you’ve got three kids, you should pay a different, lower tax rate than if you are making the same amount of money and you don’t have any kids,” Vance said in 2021 during an interview with Charlie Kirk. “It’s that simple.”

No one who did not have children is being punished...they are simply not getting the tax break for having children.   This post was edited by my2cents at July 27, 2024 3:40 PM MDT

Did you watch the video? Where he starts out saying we need to reward the things that are good and punish the things that are bad. He goes on to talk about higher tax rates (nothing about tax credits).
When I said (not anyone else said), he didn't invent the tax credit, I meant that he wasn't suggesting a tax credit, because we already have one. He was suggesting a tax rate hike for non-parents. I would prefer to hear him defend his comments, rather than accept your explanation.

No he simply was not.  He was using the child tax credit as an example of the government using tax code to encourage and discourage actions of the public. 

That's a distinction without a difference. 

Vance voted to support IVF. A bill that would have striped medicaid funding from any state that did not allow IVF.  
Yes he opposes, abortion.  So do I and many others. 

Seems you're right about that, although he also voted against the 'Right to IVF Act' recently. I'm not sure what to make of that, but he has said he supports IVF, so I'll cautiously take that part back. 

I don't know where I alluded to abortion, which appears a separate subject.

He voted for IVF recently.   He voted against the Dems version of the bill...he voted for Ted Cruz's bill.  I do not know exactly what the difference was between the two bills.
