Patientlywaiting, are you proposing this carbon tax on kids going forward, or would you be willing to pay that on the kids you already have too?
People universally subsidize education because it’s more optimistic to presume that keeping kids occupied with a constructive outlet for their curious natures will turn them into productive citizens, as opposed to say, having to build more juvi halls for delinquents. I’d rather build more schools than prisons, assuming you’ll have to build one or the other.
