Should we TAX ALL MEN to provide financial assistance to mothers who can't identify the father of the child?

Question

I mean, it's not the mother's fault that she had a child and doesn't know who the father is, but ALL men share a collective responsibility, since they all could potentially father and subsequently abandon the woman and child.

Whaddya think of this great idea?

My proposal specifically exempts women from this tax.

Sandie, My idea is so great because it targets the very people who are responsible for getting women pregnant - anonymous men.

Answer 1

i think its ludicrous.

Answer 2

Jewish regulation, Torah regulation, says that if a newborn is born of a Jewish mom, the newborn is a Jew by using delivery. in accordance to Torah regulation, the mum passes down being a Jew to her toddlers. the father does no longer. the father passes down Tribal Lineage. the mum passes down being a Jew. So if a non-Jewish father marries a Jewish lady, their toddlers would be Jews yet will have not any tribal association because of the fact their father has none. yet, if a Jewish father marries a non-Jewish lady, their toddlers are no longer Jews in accordance to Torah regulation. hence he can't precisely pass down his tribal lineage, because they are no longer Jewish toddlers. So the toddlers have lost out on the two counts there. there is not any such concern as being "a million/2 Jewish". the two a guy or woman is a Jew because of the fact their mom became right into a Jew, or if their mom became into no longer a Jew, then they do no longer look to be a Jew. P.S. The Reform Jewish flow, which became into created in the 1800s, has tried to alter for themselves this Torah regulation. they have created their very own regulation that asserts that a newborn is a Jew in the event that they are raised in a companion and babies the place Judaism is practiced. They did this because of the fact the intermarriage cost in Reform Judaism between Jewish men and non-Jewish women is up around seventy 5-80% and that they are particularly breeding themselves precise out of existence as Jews. notwithstanding, changing God-given Torah regulation, for themselves, does no longer exchange that Torah regulation. It purely skill that they do no longer look to be following real Judaism, or the Torah, and are doing as they opt to, instead.

Ha,ha,ha ha,You have been watching Judge Hattchett all the time.Your idea is great. that we should tax all men that are verile. That gives me an idea,that if I WILL DO IT ,,I 'll do it in broad daylight or if at night, bright light is on,so I can easily identify the father of my child.....

Answer 4

That is rediculously ignorant. Yes, theres a lot of cases where men get a woman pregnant and then leave the picture but group punishment for all of us including the ones who haven't done that, and even the ones who ARE in their kids' lives? Its as simple as this: if you can tell who the father is, you can take him to court for child support. If you can't, perhaps you should evaluate your own lifestyle choice. Don't completely burden all men because some women can't determine paternity.

Answer 5

Your question made me laugh out loud. How about we collectively tax all the women for not keeping their legs shut and not using birthcontrol effectively.

WAIT, let's levy a tax on EVERYONE of childbearing years....all men and women between 18 and 45? And we will call it the Promiscuity Tax.

Answer 6

How about if the mother doesn't know who the dad is NO ONE has to be taxed to support her. (ie welfare and mothers allowance). She should have to raise that baby on her own or give it up for adoption.

Be careful in your jest. Society is already held accountable for the irresponsible women who don't know who the father is.

Dierdre: Sad to say but I think the number is much greater than we think. One night stands, cheating, multiple partners... It's sick. If you are going to be 'out there' you should at least make sure that you are protected from pregnancy and disease.

Answer 7

All men (& women) that are presently employed are paying taxes for those who receive AFDC.
Think about it, that means a lot of these men (& women) are supporting or paying child support to their children and a small part to un-known children all the time.
What makes your idea so Great?

Answer 8

I sincerely hope you are joking.

Put in that light, I would rather donate all my money off to charity (and get them excempted as tax free) than give them to women who can't keep their legs closed.

Blue - I think Troll Shark is sensible enough to be only joking.

Edit - In light of Deidre's comments, I agree - this question does have to be qualified to exclude those who pregnancy was forced upon due to rape or incest. Another example which I had in mind and was concerned about what women who do know who the father is, however, due to the irresponsibility of the male, are forced to become single mothers. My grandma was one of those women.

Answer 9

Good heavens, no.

What do you mean "it's not the woman's fault?" She laid down and opened herself up to the act. If that woman can't keep her legs crossed or use adequate birth control, then it's her responsibility to deal with the consequences of her actions.

IF a man has been proven to be the biological father, then yes, he should pay for his share in the act.

I think your "great idea" stinks.

Answer 10

Well you mean you would exempt women from paying taxes to support these children, such as happens now?

Hey if that happens just remember it was not a feminist idea. We did not try to get a special law for women.

EDIT:

Its working so well that both men and women are paying taxes to support these children. Maybe women not having sex with strangers would be the best choice.

Answer 11

I think all working Men and Women already get taxed for this in America.
