Screw you, seriously. You want to remove childbearers from the workforce? You want to reduce everyone's employment experiences by diminishing the market of employees and ideas? You want your ten bucks a year so that you can say you don't support single mothers (note -- extensive public health research demonstrates that productivity and well-being of women of child-bearing age is the best indicator of the overall health of a society)?

Why should society give you anything at all? Why should my tax dollars go towards protecting you from crime, or paying your emergency room bills? And I mean you, specifically, not people in general -- if you don't want to contibute to make everyone's lot better, why should anyone give a crap about you, or for that matter your opinions?

I see I hit a sore spot. I don't really want to remove childbearers from the workforce, but I do want a frank discussion about who bears the costs. Actually, just an admission of the inherent injustice of the system would be nice. Ten bucks a year? Screw you. I pay roughly 70% of my income in taxes every year.

And holy thoughtcrime Batman! Despite paying tens of thousands of dollars every year in taxes, all government services should be denied to me just because of my opinions?
