I have one son who is 41 who doesn't have children and doesn't want any... and he's angry that he has to pay more than his friends of the same age... and I can't blame him.

I never had kids but also never objected to paying taxes to educate other's kids. The US shouldn't be in the business of promoting large families. It's not like we're trying to fill up what was thought to be empty country these days. If our system relies on continuing to grow our population, maybe we need to rethink that? There has to be a way to make sure everyone worthwhile gets paid that doesn't end op overpopulating and destroying us.

(17,233 posts)People with more money should pay more taxes, regardless of how many children they have, and people with less money should pay lower taxes, especially if they have lots of kids.
