General Idiocy in China - they are mulling "no child tax"
Posted: Thu 23 Aug 2018, 12:10:48
It seems that in government departments idiocy never ends.
For last 40 years or so China had very strict 1 child policy which resulted in countless human rights abuses etc.
Now guess what?
Government have found that they *don't* have enough children and country might be facing an economic ruin due to rapidly rising cost of care for elderly and also severe social troubles due to a lack of women (117 men per 100 women).
Now they are considering another idiocy, this time in opposite direction.
They are beginning public debate about *taxing peoples for having not enough children*.
