Always letting the single working people pick up the tab.

How many of us pay full propery tax and have no kids in school or using social services?
Give all the tax breaks to the people whose demon spawn younguns use the govt services that taxes pay for.. Makes perfect sense to me - NOT!

Well, not really. There had been a penalty for being married, such that Jane + John paid more taxes filing jointly than if they were "living in sin" and filing separately. It's not making us single filers pick up the tab.

On the other hand, giving a tax deduction for children is making the childless filers pick up the tab. I've always thought it would be a good idea to make the parents of children who are constantly in juvi also give up their tax deduction. Either that or structure it so that parents of children who have no negative impact on society an extra bit of deduction.
