Lol, nice post.
My overall tax position is every person with a job should pay the same percentage of tax on their income and there should be no deductions period. What ever they take (and I'm really only willing to give 5% max to federal gov't) they keep and use. There's no tax returns, no paperwork, no how do I get a lawyer to find loopholes. You employer takes the 1-5% and hands it over to uncle sam, done.
Of course in my wonderful world of sunshine and unicorns, the only gov't programs are defense, border security and the post office. There are no other federal laws/programs period. Oh, and the post office only delivers things that fit in a standard mailbox, they're around to provide a very basic support of physical communication and exchange of ideas, not commercial goods transportation. I wouldn't have a problem with even restricting them to letters/postcards only.
ETA: You're example of the child and family does not work when applied to a gov't structure. People who get money from the gov't in general on average remain dependent on .gov their entire lives and never pay it back. If you need proof of this go look at the IRS website and pull up the total $ donated willingly. You'll see no one ever gives back willingly. The point is gov't should only do those things that protect people's pursuit of happiness. The gov't should never be in the business of granting happiness, because the only way a gov't can do that is by taking from those who have and giving to those that don't. There's already a word for that, it's called communism.
I invite you to this thread!
