I'm child-free, by choice, and I don't vote liberal.
But I'm paying for someone else's kids to get a primary education, I'm paying for libraries (I buy my own books, thank you very much), I'm subsidizing child-care vis a vis WIC and welfare, and all sources of other programs that I will never, ever benefit from.

So before the knee-jerkers start calling us selfish, just take into consideration - my income helps subsidize your child-rearing in more ways than one, and you get the immediately benefits of it.

They just come back and whine about how it is up to the Gummint to subsidize their CHOICE. It is just like welfare, only to a lesser degree. If it wasn't for folk like you and me (I calculated it would take 7 people at average income to replace my tax revenue, NOT ADJUSTING for the wear and tear they put on the system with kids that I do not) the schools would be a LOT worse off.

Let's be fair: Remove the child tax credit.

Judging from the crickets, it appears quite difficult to refute your spot-on comment. :-)

You're not paying for mine...and neither am I through my substantial property taxes either that go for crap PC public schools btw. They go private like anyone in Southern urban areas who can afford it.

But thanks for the thought.

Wish we could itemize where out tax dollars go...lol
