I understand and respect your point of view. I guess the primary difference between our points of view is that you think "fairness" should be enforced by taking money from one person who doesn't have kids and giving it to another because they have kids. Mine is that everyone should have the same opportunities and pay the same amount (above the poverty line) and that the playing field should be level in a literal, non governmentally subsidized way.
