    I'd like to add something regarding the whole "parents shouldn't get tax breaks" argument.

    I don't have kids. I believe in fairness, just like everyone else. When I was a younger man I honestly thought that it was unfair that parents got extra tax breaks. I don't think this anymore.

    People without kids need to understand that we give tax breaks and incentives to families not to make life easier on the parents or encourage population growth, but to increase the quality of life of the CHILDREN. This should be important to anyone. Promoting the growth of healthy, educated, well-developed children should be as important to non-parents as it is to parents.
