Eliminating tax breaks to families doesn’t punish them, it just fixes an inequity that gives them preferential treatment over individuals. They will be paying the same taxes as individuals.

Damn, now you've told them!!!

It’s not an inequity, it’s a policy designed to encourage people to have children for the future of our society.

You, as an individual, only spend on yourself; families are spending on the next generation, the people who are going to be paying your social security and taking care of you in your old age.
