China bans toxic American computer junk

Quothe Sellam Ismail, from writings of Sat, Jun 08, 2002 at 06:56:57PM -0700: Sort of... only the solution can be less painful: All people need to do is stop having so many babies. This is why I support the "W.C. Fields Memorial Child Tax Bill," a progressively incrementing tax on children. One child, a somewhat low tax, such as an education tax. Two children, a higher tax is applied. Three children, a much higher tax is applied, etc. No more tax deductions for dependent children; instead, allow childless people to have generous deductions for pets, computer collections (if all of the computers are named), plants, etc. It might not hurt to outlaw the discouragement of birth control and outlaw any religious dogma which encourages people to have children. Give tax breaks to childless people and don't tax them for any costs associated with children (e.g. education, health care, etc.) Etc.... In other words, reduce the population fairly quickly through a decline in the birth rate. Simple, humane and effective, what? -- Copyright (C) 2001 R. D.
