In a 2021 speech to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, Vance blamed "the childless left" for America's woes. He praised conservative Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán for encouraging married couples to have children and said that parents should "have a bigger say in how democracy functions" than non-parents.

Being a parent isn't a prerequisite to being a productive member of society.

Not sure he is wrong. There is a valid argument people with children have a different mentality about the future than people without. Seems your IRS believes this too. Producing tax payers is popular for a government with a spending problem.

Parents may see the future differently but that doesn't mean childless people don't care about what happens. We don't live in a vacuum. We have nieces, nephews, cousins, friends with kids, etc., whose futures matter to us.

As for what the government thinks of the matter, I couldn't care less.
