    Childless couples pay their fair share

    >> but every woman needs other "breeders" to replenish the the society that supports you, oh Selfish One, in your old age.

    Hang on a second! I've been paying school taxes for nigh on ten years now, and will continue to help put YOUR children through school until I die. I also subsidize the student lunch program, city playgrounds, the V-Chip and a whole host of other child-friendly government programs that benefit me not at all. And to top it off, you get a nice tax deduction for every kid you make.

    I'm more than happy to help out our nation's future, but how dare you accuse me of being selfish for collecting a little Social Security in my old age when I've spent my entire life subsidizing your little rug rats you ungrateful son of a bitch!
