Several political leaders have proposed that parents be granted a substantially larger reduction in their annual personal income taxes for each child that they raise. The economic way of thinking indicates that legislation of this type would:
 a. make it more expensive for parents to provide for their children.
 b. reduce the value of children to their parents and therefore lead to a reduction in the birth rate.
 c. reduce the after-tax cost of raising children and therefore increase the birth rate.
 d. exert no impact on either the cost of raising children or the birth rate since parenting children is a non-economic activity.
