roughly in the same boat you are, and I actually find it difficult to believe that this is anything more than an imagined problem.
I can't imagine there's that many people that don't understand children are important and children need to be taken care of. I certainly have never gotten angry at not getting the tax breaks those with more dependents get, and I can't imagine there's that many other people who do.
My opinion is that this is just another journalist trying to drum up drama for clicks.

Cruising through this comment section tells me that a lot of people think about this a lot, apparently. Many are also apparently bitter that their tax dollars pay for services for children, even though they don't have children.
Yeah... I quickly revised my opinion after continuing through the comments of this thread.
Apparently there ARE people who are that angry? It doesn't really make sense to me.
I saw one poster compare it to smokers who get to take quick smoke breaks. I don't have a habit that forces me to take breaks every 30 minutes to an hour or I go into withdrawal, doesn't make me smell like a smoker, and doesn't inherently put me at risk of cancer. Isn't that in itself a reward for not smoking? Instead you have to get pissed at someone who smokes? Do you REALLY want to be out there inhaling that smoke with the other smokers?
It just makes no sense to me, but I've also never viewed working hours as a zero-sum game.
