Paying your own way?
joblow, quote:- "If you want to have children that is your right as it should be, but it is also then your responsibility to pay for their education medical etc. and should not be the burden on the general taxpayer who may not have or want children."
What if the parents of said children are taxpayers?
Doesn't that mean they are paying their way and not part of any burden on their fellow taxpayers?
As you say, "if you want to have children that is your right", just as it is if you do not want children.
I believe that a tax payer has a reasonable right to expect something for his money.
The question really is, what responsibility should the employer have over one's children. None, but nice if you can get something!
