<DIV>It constantly amazes me that the militantly childed come up with such unresearched, uneducated reasons for why we should all breed. Mr. Social Security genius conveniently overlooks the fact that we all pay taxes to support his kids' education, but of course we should feel guilty for making them pay our Social Security. Hmmm...flaw in the logic there? And let's not forget all those nice tax credits he's getting for having kids, the time he gets to leave work early because his kids have plays, doctor appointments, etc. and the extra money he gets from his company sponsored insurance when they're sick. And he has the nerve to complain about Social Security? Give me a break. </DIV>

Also, since Childfree folks are less likely to <BR>> waste...er, I mean, spend a bunch of money raising children they would be <BR>> more likely to have a variety of retirement funds available and thus less <BR>> likely to need Social Security.
