Of course the above is mostly a parody but I am concerned about a government that is hell bent on taxing lifestyle choices. What's next, taxing people who don't get enough sleep or people who don't get enough exercise or eat the proper government diet or reproduce even though they have inferior genes?

sorry... that's called living in SOCIETY.
I don't have kids, I don't plan on it, and if I did I wouldn't send them to public school but to private school.
I pay taxes that subsidize public schooling. I don't like it, I didn't like it watching my father pay for our tution knowing that he was also paying for public schools that I do not use.
