I suppose that this would also mean that childless families aren't "subsidizing" families with children who attend school, because the teachers who wouldn't be teaching without children to teach give the government back a huge chunk of their salary in income tax, and then a ton more in sales and other taxes, the parents pay for children's clothing, daycare, piano lessons, baby food, and all sorts of "clearly intended for children" activities, and both the direct HST on those transactions, as well as the created income taxes and HST from only-because-children-exist jobs should cover the costs of what we perceive as the subsidies to parents. -_-*
