As is stands, parents are able to claim their children as dependents on their tax returns, which lowers their overall tax liability and in effect means that the parents either pay less in taxes or receive a higher return at the end of each year....
Also the idea of yet another way or reason to exclude young people from society, yet another way to make them other or less than is the opposite of what modern society needs, and should be treated as fundamentally offensive.

It also became memeable and noteworthy because it's it's drastically off tone for the comic strip it came from. Generally a light hearted series and then BAM, have something that in context is utterly brutal.
Nowadays it's so divorced from it's context that it's essentially just a meme.
I forced myself to go back a little to Reddit recently. Because while I endorse and love the existence of the Fediverse, I can't in good conscience, tolerate the instability of it.

If rich people weren't hoarding functionally all of the world's wealth, we wouldn't need their goddamn charity. They don't deserve praise for pissing into fires they started.
