Okay, dude, seriously... now having kids is "burdening the government"? That's a bit far fetched since, if people didn't have kids, there would be no more 'Murica after just a few decades. Kids, are, after all, the future taxpayers on whose bosom the government will be suckling. The government is more a burden to the People, the way I see it.
And while we're on the subject of singles getting tax breaks for not burdening the government, how come those of us who served in the military and didn't get hurt (i.e. no VA medical "percentage" rating), how come we don't get a severance bonus for not burdening the government with a lifetime of disability payments?

Okay, maybe I should have been more specific, I meant those people that live off of welfare and other government assistance and just pop out kids because they can. I figured you all would know what I was talking about.
And I hear ya on the VA thing. I served 12 1/2 years.
