In the US, if you are married with two kids, your first $70k is zero tax at the federal level.
The truth is that falling birth rates aren't about direct financial costs -- its about opportunity costs. The opportunity to do things that you frankly just lose the freedom to do when you become a mother or father. And lowering tax rates doesn't really solve that problem.

I hear this, but the majority of couples I know would be fine with kids if decent housing was available and affordable, especially on one income. This is coastal California not conservative rural area.
