I pay property taxes and gladly accept that I am helping kids become educated. I spend an awful lot of my tax money on causes I don't support, I sure as hell am not going to complain about paying a little to help kids. On a side note, this thread has taken a serious tangent.

You chose to have children, nobody forced it on you, so don't force the expense on me. If you can't afford to raise them without discriminatory tax breaks, then you shouldn't be having them in the first place.

Everybody should pay the same percentage of his or her income in taxes regardless of any demographic measure.

That doesn't even get into how I'm forced to put up with people's screaming brats anywhere I go. They don't even discipline them or shut them up or take them outside if they're being obnoxious. If I misbehave, I'm thrown out. Parents should be required to keep their children decently behaved or get thrown out. If I ever thought about acting the way some of these brats behave in stores, I would have been dead.




Cheers to this post!




ARRRGH! I wholeheartedly agree!
