There is no increase in taxes when a person has more than 4 children at certain income levels--there is simply no special credit against taxes. Never do taxes equal 100% of income. You are mixing up a $1000 credit being applied or not being applied, with an actual $1000/head tax on children. There is no head tax on children under the current Code. Thus, if you've hit the phase out income level, your tax is essentially the same whether you have 4 children, 7 children, or 14 children. You'd have to point me to a $1000 extra tax per child to support your calculation. I think you are mixing up the concept of a credit phase-out with an actual tax levy per child.
