It's no secret that raising kids costs a lot of money. But what's your point? It also costs a lot to own a car, but we don't expect a tax break for every car we own, do we? The point is that yes, it costs a lot of money, but why is the government paying for it? (You'll have plenty of good answers, I know, but they won't jive with the original intentions for this country).
Personally, I don't really mind the tax breaks people get when they have children. The revenue generated by that child is going to far exceed any breaks their parents are given. Welfare, on the other hand...
