What is very disturbing, apart from the obvious, is the fact that they are using Google generated AI images. take the picture of the kid, put it into gemini.google.com and request @SynthID
This is one of my pet ideas to equalize and redistribute wealth.
Fundamentally I believe one of the worst aspects of capitalist societies is the tendency of capital to concentrate to already well off capital owners.
I believe the best way to beat this inherent defect in capitalism, is for the state to manage a fund for every child born and slowly hand over control to the individual.
Oh great, more of my tax money goes to children I was too responsible to have. The whole US government is geared to fund people who can't keep it in their pants and produce children they could never afford. I'm really tired of this, because I know those children won't be taking care of me in my old age.
Every person born in the US was once a child, not having children in no way makes you more responsible, it just makes you opting out of a major part of society, which is a fine personal choice but if this was implemented when you were a child you would have benefited the same as anyone else.
Also, other peoples children WILL be taking care of you when you are old ,because they will be the doctors, firefighters, manufacturing line workers, delivery drivers and everyone else that carry out services that you will still need. They will also be contributing to the tax base that provides social services (social security is paid for by the current generations tax revenue not the original contributors', as bad as this is)
If you're having children you can't afford, you are irresponsible. That is simple and easy for anyone to understand. If you then take your irresponsiblity and pay for it with the tax money of responsible people, you're rewarding the irresponsible people and punishing the responsible ones.
The part where I didn't have children I couldn't afford is what makes it particularly galling. I gave up something and they didn't, but I'm punished and they are rewarded.
After the growth period (that is, starting January 1st of the calendar year in which the child turns 18), most of the rules that apply to traditional IRAs will generally apply to the Trump account. For example, this means that distributions from the Trump account could be subject to the section 72(t) 10% additional tax on early distributions, unless an exception applies with respect to the child (such as for distributions for higher education expenses or first home purchases).
I agree that we should be spending more on children, however, I don't think we should be encouraging people to have them. People will have more kids when they feel more secure in their life positions. We should be fixing the social fabric to where people will naturally want to have kids, not encouraging people to have kids when they don't feel like they can.
