Hi,
They can still factor in tax deductions for children . . .
Why? If people wish to have children and thus increase the burden on society and the environment, why should they be helped? Their choice, their desire, let them pay for it. Once they do have those kids, it is to society's benefit that those kids be educated, else we'll end up with a nation of ignorant jackasses that could make "reality TV" popular. Thus, since education is to society's benefit, society should at least help pay for it. But having the kids in the first place? I don't think 6 billion people are too *few*.
