Norway and Sweden both give you a check for having kids and I believe Norway gives you part of the oil money.

You don't get given the oil money, the whole idea is to invest it for when the oil runs out.
Meaning they give you your own money back to you for doing something they like. How generous.
Is there a problem with that? Taxes are there to benefit the society, not the individual. In Norway's case, it definitely seems to be a benefit for society.
