Taxes come off the sweat of working people's backs, are paid instead of being able to afford to have kids sooner, and before dealing with all our medical issues.
For someone who works minimum wage at a physically demanding job where the bosses sit in their comfortable offices and don't really care about their people, 300k is a lot!
For people who could only have children with the assistance of a fertility clinic and/or surrogacy, where it routinely costs 100k to have one of their children arrive into the world, no guarantees, 300k is a lot!
For people who cannot do things in life because they struggle to afford to pay for issues related to their medical conditions, 300k is a lot!
...So instead of telling other people it's not a lot, perhaps just the people who think it's not a lot can offer to pay it and take the burden away from the people who are already struggling.
