Then _they_ have kids!  
It’s a good thing they’re so damn cute, eh?

Meh, life isn’t fair, and \*everyone’s \*tax dollars are subsidizing \*something \*they would prefer not to. I don’t begrude people their little tax breaks. Kids \*\*are \*\*expensive. And yeah, so is a Birkin, but when times get tough, you can’t sell your kids. Dammit.
