I believe in justice and fair play.
The simple fact is that here in America people who decide to get
married and have children on average get far more in services from
the government than they pay. These costs are involuntary paid for
by people who are single without kids.
I oppose the injustice of this lifestyle subsidy.
Socialists/"Economic Democrats" see things differently.

In this little online community/salon of ours I didn't feel the
need to sugarcoat an intellectual discussion.
