100%. To use my daycare example, if someone didn't have kids, they're not realizing any value out of that.

So sure, there's an even more nebulous "value to society" concept, but since TFA is trying to get to dollars and cents I was trying to focus it on overall personal value. But even then one needs to not treat tax dollars equally.
