Yup, that's an unreasonable opinion you have there buddy. In fact, here in Canada, people with kids get the Canada child benefit (CCB).

Yeah, they do. I've thought this for... years. But I've never actually put it to words. Now that I have, I feel like a self interested asshole. But I'm capable of change.

And that said, CCB seems like a pretty good system. It makes me think of earned income tax credit here. Not the same thing, but it's fairly sizable tax credits for those with low income and dependents.
