I would argue that it would be better for everyone, regardless of family size. For how many years do you think you will be able to claim all 7 dependents? The higher standard deduction can always be claimed.

Sounds like in the near future all Jews will be legally divorced living in the same home....
I've suggested that before (I'll leave it to others to dig up). Though I might have been mistaken about New Hampshire, Guam seems to be the way to go.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

In many homes people have college students (up to the age of 24),  until the parents are around 60.

Someone pointed out to me last year, that there is no tax benefit in claiming dependents beyond a certain number. (Some people even give away some children to their parents to parents to claim as dependents so at least someone can benefit). I personally stopped claiming 3 of my children (though no-one else is claiming them  ;)).

Start a thread in goods for sale.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I am surprised that AMT was not brought up here which removes the deduction for lots of the large families anyhow.

Pretty sure (there is a thread about) someone was giving away their children with a house for awhile
I'm not who you think I am.

There's a limit to the number of exemptions?
 News to me.

+1
Also in lean years, there's a limit to how much child tax credit and/or EIC that one can get.

This is besides AMT?
Anyone in the amt is by definition taking itemized deductions rather than the standard deduction and so this entire discussion doesn't start.
The discussion brought up by op is regarding one who is taking the standard deduction and would be better off with the lower standard plus exemptions rather than trumps higher standard and no exemptions
