Residents who marry and have children appear to expect other taxpayers to subsidize their responsibility as parents to provide for their own.

So they enlist the government to demand it at the barrel of a gun.

How in the world are they doing that? That are having their taxes reduced a very modest amount. You aren't giving one thin dime of your money to anyone. Let alone "at the barrel of a gun".

Can’t we say the very same thing about the SALT deductions?
