I am in alignment on a hypothetical.We are speaking about hypotheticals. What the state is or is not willing to do is irrelevant, what I'm talking about are the kinds of things that will restore large families.
That people accept a 40-50% tax today is outrageous, for historical comparison, a tax rate of 3% used to be considered very high in the Roman era.
Conversely you could have a homogenous society that pays 50 percent tax but all other public services are free (health care and college) but you'll never encourage market development OR productivity with out cultural and ethnic homogeneity.
That said, in the US....some states make it impossible to live for small families looking to grow into large families. California or NY for instance.
Not having a state tax in Texas is a pretty big deal.
The way the progressive tax works can be greatly neutralized if we didn't have such a large burden to care for illegal migrants.
