That's not the point.
The point is that why should single people pay more taxes to help you raise
*your* children?
The more you have, the more free money you get from us.
That's not fair.
You want children?  You pay for them.
Cost too much?
Tuff.
Then dont' have them.
Just don't come whining to me with your hand in my pocket looking for
handouts to help pay for *your* inability to use a condom or birth control
or religious beliefs.
