Wrong answer! You do NOT deserve more of my paycheck and labor just because I am not married. My mother and father with 5 children were never "subsidized" (aka, welfare) by the government.
"The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits."
--Thomas Jefferson
The federal government is restraining me with a much heavier tax burden and aiding you with a much lighter tax burden (aka welfare).
How conservative are you really that you live on government welfare?
LOL. You're not paying a dime more for married couples to receive tax credits.
If your father and mother took a tax exemption for you, they were subsidized. There are great expense incurred by having and raising a child. IAC. not likely you and I can come to agreement because you seem to buy the statist argument that society is no more than a collective of individuals, that the institution of marriage did not exist prior to the state and therefore has natural rights that the state is bound to respect. Marriage as defined by law imposes duties and obligations, even those apart from rearing children not borne by single individuals therefore a married couple ought to be given special consideration
Do you own a home? So you’d be okay with the government no longer giving a mortgage interest deduction either? Is that welfare too?
