I live Canberra, (capital of Australia) a predominantly a public service city. Lately there have been rumors, on the radio stations suggesting that a new tax reform could be legislated, applicable to young men/bachelors. Considering it has not been talked about on TV or written in print/news papers, it is lookt upon as a rumor as radio/media  does not carry much weight in political discussions. However, the subject of taxing unmarried men just for not being married stinks  of government trying to recover/get money to continue to finance all the womens  project they have promised them.

Is anything like this happening in USA ?

My observation of USA politics is when I start seeing stories like the one you cite in the news, it means the administration is floating trial balloons. If there is an outcry, then they can quietly back off. If it’s well received, or ignored, then they will press ahead.

There are many historical precedents for bachelor taxes, and government backed programs aimed at increasing the birth rate. If ancient Rome and Nazi Germany did it and got away with it, then there is no reason our governments won’t try it either.

This is of course combined with all the other issues of feminism and the misandrist legal system in place.

What they’re going to do however, if there is ever truly a real fear about population (there really isn’t, we probably about 10x more people than we actually need) is kick women out of the workforce, drive down the age of consent/marriage, get rid of divorce, and then order women to marry young by 16 or so. They do this every time things collapse, then ramp up age, education and female wealth/power during excess.

Besides; that tax should be ridiculously high before it even comes close to the cost of marriage and children.

The more that single men get penalised, the less money they have to spend on women/ dating. They can try it but it will just exacerbate things in the long run. That said, feminists aren’t renowned for their common sence and would happily grab and campaign for the short-term gains with little or no perspective on where it will all lead.

Modern feminism is like watching somebody saw the branch off a tree that their ladder is leaning against.

Yes. It’s called ObamaCare™.

How is ObamaCare a bachelor’s tax?  There is a tax on individuals who refuse to have health coverage.  That was like a plan C proposal out of Obama, after first having a federal insurance program people could buy into, and the non-profit chartered insurance programs were both shot down. So, the Mass. model of health insurance got adopted, which required people to have health insurance.

So you might actually use that maternity coverage you are forced to pay for under ObamaCare™?

And here is a court case for MRAs to pick up.  They could sue to enable men to be able to get adoptions covered under ObamaCare, or other aspects of medical coverage.  I am required to pay for a certain level of insurance.  Whether or not my insurance covers things like Maternity coverage, I would have to look into.  The last time I looked into the Exchange in the state I am in, I didn’t see anything about Maternity coverage.
