Well here is the letter for today. Always have to throw a spear at the Republicans. If anyone knows how to spell incentivizing or incentivize, please advise, the spell checkers don't like this version. Maybe here is no such word.
Legislatures shape human behavior by incentivizing or taxing. Republicans love unborn fetuses, and want all of them to become tax payers. Why not incentivize women to create these taxpayers? Lets assure every mother that her child will be provided with day care, free college, and medical care. Let's make sure every single mother is guaranteed a wage of $20 an hour. So how do we pay for this? If Republicans needed the money to save these fetuses from the fate of abortion they could institute an inheritance tax of 100% on everything over one million. If Republicans valued human life so much that they wanted every implanted sperm to breath they would institute the old fashioned progressive tax system that used to exist. Republicans could have stiff luxury taxes, and there are countless ways the one percent could pay pregnant teenagers to bring their bundles into the world.
Why not put Republicans in a position where they have to choose between bringing fetuses to life and paying taxes? The truth is abortion is not about life, it is about taxes. Republicans hate taxes more than cold weather, minorities, and socialist. Republicans know the key to manipulating the vulnerable is emotions. Guns are emotional, fear is emotional, abortion is emotional. Emotions bring in the crowds, not facts, not logic, not reality. If you make Republicans chose between money and morality they will chose money every time. Make them choose publically, make them vote on bills to raise taxes to help unwed mothers. Tax the rich or let the love bundle die, make them choose.
