Point explained

To the editor:

Bob Gent did not read my letter very well at all. I said I don’t want to pay for other people’s children to go to school, at least not the same rate of tax as someone with seven children. I think I should pay way less, and those who chose to have children should pay more, so it still comes out as the same dollar figures collected. The total tax collected will remain the same. I am paying for those who keep having babies left and right or choose to have even one child, and I shouldn’t pay as much.

It is just like someone who chooses not to drive, they don’t pay registration fees or pay to have a license or insurance. You have the children, you need to pay for them, not me; they are your kids.

If you can’t afford them, then don’t have them. Read a bit better next time, Bob.
