Looks like kids are an extra $300 a pop. Nice... Kids are good for something other than stripping years from my lifespan. Haha...

pretty sweet. I hope this goes through. Of course, we'll just be paying it back next year anyway.

So beat tho... why don't I deserve $1200. 'Cause I don't have a lady? Life is plenty hard enough for singles as well. What am I gonna do with $600??? Really nothing. I guess I'll put it in my high interest savings account. Same unfairness in paying taxes tho... so nothing new here. Yeh, I know married couples need the money to support 2 people... but doesn't mean singles don't need as much to support themselves. Plus, a lot of married couples have 2 incomes because both of them work whereas just to support myself, I'm actually seeking out a 2nd supplementary job in addition to my current job to get by.

yeah but it's still 600 per person.. so it's really the same thing

oh. Oh yeh. I should've thought about it first. oops. I stand corrected and humbled.
