    So the hot topic right now is an article in China calling for establishing mandatory savings accounts to pay for childcare. All workers will be deducted some amount, and the account will only be available after having a second child. So basically a childless tax.

        Will this tax will be progressive, flat rate or fixed amount?

        It's a proposal by some scholar, not public policy. Fixed rate it said.

        Doesn't China still have a two-child policy in place? Shouldn't that be overturned first?

        I think this IS the Two-Child Policy - you need to have two kids or else.

        What is the point in incentivising exactly two kids for all citizens?

        It just seems inefficient to punish families for having both more and less than two kids, especially if this is across the board for all Han citizens. Maybe I'm too white to understand this level of central planning.

        Punishment for over 2 kids would be abolished under the plan.

        Is there a requirement to be married? I understand that's less of an issue there then elsewhere

        You need to be married to get a birth license. No father, no registry for the kid. Basically no citizenship.

        That sounds like the government wants to keep their people alive. On the flip-side, western governments tax the fuck out of white people so they don't reproduce. Hmm

        The German government taxes childless German citizens more than others.

        "Single workers without children fall into this bracket when their gross annual salary amounts to €65,000 or more. A family with two children in which only one of the couple withdraws a salary will generally pay the the top tax rate starting at a gross income of €135,000."

        Does every country not do this? Child allowances/benefits, tax relief, tax going towards schools childcare etc are all taxes on the childless that go towards people with children.

        In practice this means that white Germans with no genetic future are disproportionately paying for Muslims to replace them. A pox upon the cat ladies and the mudmen both. There need to be more effective policies, especially when the situation is as dire as Germany’s.

        Not really, but also beside the point.
