I'm aware that it costs more to have children, but having children is a choice. Should I, a childless tax payer for 18 years, pay more in taxes than someone who has children?

fair means the same for you and me. And no, you don't pay more in taxes than I do, if you have children. I pay the maximum amount of taxes, with no tax breaks for being married, having children. And in my state, and other states, healthcare is guaranteed for children under 18. Also, at my expense. I pay into every social program out there, and benefit from none. So, is that fair?

I'm paying more. I don't get ANYTHING back. And yes, not having children is a choice, a choice that doesn't take money out of your pocket. Make your choices, leave me out of them.

The earned Income Tax Credit is a form of welfare, and thus is unfair to those who pay taxes. If the poor, working or not, can not afford to have children, they should not have children. It is not the responsibility of the rest of us to pay for their choices.

The EIC is for low income and high bills. Being single typically means low bills... yes, it's unfair. I was single for 42 years and got screwed every tax season!

I don't find it unfair at all. I pay more more medical care, insurance and other things. Also we as a family of 4, I am sure pay more in taxes than you do.
People with children and expenses from children should be given a break I believe. And I am grateful for it.

You aren't paying more you are just getting less back.
Not having kids is a choice too.

Why does everyone with children feel they deserve more all around?
