Hardly - because it is saving the planet. The planet cannot support our current population, so if you plan to increase that population, you must pay a tax.
This is no penalizing normal people that only have a couple children, and I'm sure twins and such would be held exempt. This is simply for people who make poor choices or selffish choices. You can continue to make those choices, but it will cost you.
This should help people make better choices when it costs them out of their pocket book. Besides, do you realize what this would do to the mothers that pump out babies just to get a bigger welfare check?
Thewre are so many problems that would be fixed by a policy like this, or at least help curb out of control issues.
China's mandate is unacceptable, but this is a policy that may work.
