A responsible adult thinks in terms of what is needed to sustain his or her family, country, and civilization. Our law has seen fit to avail me with a tax break for "married filing jointly" and for children who live with and depend on me. A co-worker makes my same salary, but has no spouse or dependents. He believes he has "rights," such that he should get the same breaks and pay no more taxes than do I. After all, he dates extensively and has friends with benefits staying with him several days each week. While he lives high, most of my salary goes to my family. As my daughters finish schooling and take jobs, it is they who will pay the social security that supports my co-worker into his old age. Does society have the "right" to incentive and aid me in helping to raise the next generation? If society confers "rights" to such tax breaks to everyone, then it would do just as well to confer them to no one. Given that the majority of infants are now born out of wedlock, does it really make sense to argue that society has no legitimate interest in availing incentives to it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
