> Yeah I used to think that until I had a family.

It is amazing how blatantly people will just admit "I agree with politics that benefit me even if they exclude others."

> Taxes are more punishing because you're spending half your disposable income on children

I probably spend on my dogs what you do on your children. Gosh life sure is hard because of my decisions. Where are my discounts and tax refunds?

> It's called price discrimination.

...and when is discrimination ok? Lets all say it out loud.

> dogs

Dogs are not people. Society does not rely on the continued existence of dogs. Do you see any governments enacting policies to make people have more dogs?

> when is discrimination ok?

When it makes things more moral/fair. Do you object to student discounts? Progressive taxes? You seem to be having a knee-jerk reaction to the word "discrimination". It's also called "price differentiation". Maybe that sounds less bad to you?

Who do you think will look after you when you are 70? Who will grow your food, make your car, fly your plane etc?
