I am childless, but have a stepson, both by choice, yet never whine about my taxes supporting those with kids, however I feel we should therefore be compensated with preferential treatment when it comes to lines in the grocery, lanes on the highway, parking spaces nearer to the mall? Sound radical? Well, look at all the preferences given to those with kids (parking spaces reserved for pregnant mothers for example) not to mention the money necessitated to heal our environment, necessitated by the need to support more people.
