The people with children receive additional exemptions reducing their tax burden and us people without kids make up the difference, their children pay only a fourth of the cost of tuition for college and tax payers pay the rest, they receive subsidized student loans that my tax dollars subsidize those loans, they get tax credit for daycare that my tax dollars pay for, they get money for athletic programs such as little league that comes from the tax payers coiffures. They go to public schools that i have to pay for, I do not have kids so why should my tax dollars pay for these children? Don’t you think these parents need to be responsible and pay for their own choices?

The economic theory used here is, that, if the nation helps the non-tax payer to become a working tax payer, then the nation makes a new tax payer which is better than tending to the non-tax payers, therefore, if they do not become a tax payer or a wage earner, they will continue living off the govt., furthermore, you can ask to have your taxes that you pay, go to help a different branch of the pay out etc... ask that your tax dollars be spent for military or something like that..

You should contribute to welfare because those children are the future society of your country. You pay school taxes, even if you don't have any kids in school, because education of children benefits the country, which ultimately benefits you. If you don't have children, you probably have friends who do: their children plus these other children are the future of your country. It is in your friend's children's best interest that their peers are healthy and educated. You obviously would want your country to be a competitive force in the world; not educating all your country's children would guarantee a non-competitive country.
Should you pay road taxes when you don't drive? Of course, infrastructure is necessary for a good country. Should you pay for policing when you never, ever call the police? Of course, policing is necessary for a good country. The list could go on and on. But the bottom line is: do what is necessary for the future of your country.
Also, not all people on welfare are bums who refuse to get a job. Hard times can happen to anyone.

Imagine, for a moment, that you're a 30-year-old, single mother raising three children. Hell, make it two. Your relatives are either already dead or infirm and estranged, your ex-husband is nowhere to be found, and you couldn't afford to go to college, so you're making 10.50 an hour trying to support three kids.
Where are your kids going to go when you're at work? How are they going to get to and from school if they don't have public transportation? How are you going to pay the bills, pay rent, pay for food?
If you've ever known anyone that had to be on food stamps, you wouldn't ask this question. The pithy amount of money taken out of your check to support people on welfare should be a willing sacrifice on your part - these people are human beings. How are they ever going to get bakc on their feet if they've no help?
What you should be mad about is the poor quality of all of these government subsidized programs, especially public schools, or the government's handling of the welfare system, and of social security. These things are all going to cost you more in the long-run.

These parents also pay taxes for other peoples children.Education is a collective effort in the us if you don't like it your free to leave.I'm a parent and i pay my taxes. I have never had welfare and my only child has never been to daycare. I don't mind helping people who need it. I would rather pay for child care so a mother can go to school or work her self than to have her child rob me in a few years and then pay for him to be in jail. Tax cuts to the needy is a must. its hard to give what you don't have. Freedom is for all. Welfare is the lest of the problems when it comes to what is done with your tax dollars.

War is wrong. Killing is wrong should I be forced to pay taxes for them? War also Takes up a whole lot more money. If we cut the military- industrial complex down, hen we could reduce your tax burden by over 25%. And that still leaves a strong military. Should I have to pay that?
And what is wrong with welfare? Do you not like for the government to follow the teachings of all major religions and help those in need? Or would you rather use religion as a tool for votes and not actually bother with it's teachings?

Hmmmm, those children are only the responsibility of the parent to take care of? Did that child ask to be born by irresponsible parents? Should we punish the child because it has an idiot for a parent? What about the person who just lost their job and needs help until they find another, are they not important? What if it was you who needed the help, should nobody care? Do you not realize that todays children are tomorrows adults, the future doctors, lawyers, and leaders of the world? It's not about the parents being responsible, it's about taking care of our country's future.
*Edit* I suppose we could just all be "smart" and choose not to have children any more, that would just be the end of humanity. Wow some people are more dumb than I ever thought was possible!

To a certain extent it's lifeboat rules. If you don't share, the other people in the lifeboat will throw you out.
If you don't want to pay your taxes so that certain people and thier children don't live in abject poverty, you are perfectly free to move to a south american country where the rich don't pay taxes, and instead just hire private security guards to protect themselves against the poor.

They do pay...they pay taxes too!
And student loans are just that...they are loans...NOT grants.
Tax dollars do not pay for little league.
They do pay however pay for athletics associated with schools.
And I will admit....I am not that knowledgeable about taxes...but I believe they aren't getting money from your taxes per se....more that they get a "discount"(w/child care tax exemptions).
Did YOU go to a public school?

I don't want to rain on your parade... but when you turn about 60... guess who's in controll... those kids...
and I would rather have smart kids that I paid to help educate, than a bunch of idiots that don't know what they are doing...
right now you're paying for the future of America... and I think that's everyone's repsonsibilty... unless you don't care about America?
and I don't have kids, but it's not hard to see the value of education....
if you want to cut education programs... then you're going to have a lot more people on welfare... obviously
if you have more people on welfare, but then cut it... many of those people are going to turn to crime...
