LOL!!! You really don't get it do you! The governement takes more money from single people to subsidize married people. I pay $4000 in taxes more per year just for being single. You think you have a right to more of my labor than I do of your labor? You think I don't have a right to that $4000 dollars of my labor per year? Well, do ya!
How is it taking money from YOU if the government does NOT take money from a married couple, money that belongs to them as much as yours belongs to you? The subsidy from the government is basically negative. They let the couple keep more of their money because it recognizes that it is cheaper to let the family keep SOME of their money to raise the kid than for the public to take on the job. This is not like social security where the money taken from you is handed to someone else.
