Except if your spouse works or you have kids, those taxes are doing to be different, and the business isn't going to know those details when negotiating

I mean, the next thing I'd like is to not penalize for having kids as a society so much that you need tax breaks. It should not be this expensive to have kids. Kids eat what you eat, and play with other kids in the community. And any assistance for kids from government should be given to all the kids, not just people with jobs. Current system of deductions for kids is government just taking less from people who already have money.

As for spouses, similar concept, but it's a bit complicated. I'd like one parent income to be enough to have a family, because we need children to grow with parents. Currently both parents have to work and pay for daycare. The time spent with their own children is very limited. Of course people without kids will be in advantage if they have double income, but that's bound to happen. And if having kids wasn't this troublesome and expensive, maybe more people would do it.
