I chose to have children, they are my responsibility. And, I am teaching them to grow up and be self sufficient. The money that I earn in order to support my family is not being coerced from me when I support my own children (as it is when the government takes over the redistribution of MY earnings). This isn't an anlogy, this is a reality. I live this.
