How can anyone afford.............?

Well it is expensive to raise kids... however... its worth it. And you can be frugal with your money... don't buy everything in sight for them.. .have them find a way to pay for their own college (military, scholarships, grants, loans etc). I do not agree with taxing people for having kids... that is ridiculous.. they need to figure out a way to make public transportation more accessible... better incentives for going green etc... they shouldn't punish people for wanting a big family. If there are better incentives... people would try harder to go green. Businesses need to focus on how to make more energy efficient and environment friendly products.... less packaging on products etc.... NO MORE BOTTLED WATER... lol
