OK.  (This assumes you own a home).  Figure out how much you paid in
property taxes last year.  Multiply that by 50.  Now, do you think you
could fund your child(ren)'s education for 12 years on that?  I could
probably afford to educate about 10 children, just on that money.  Not
to mention that where I live, there is an additional "education levy" on
top of the regular property tax.

Even better, people who are childless are no longer burdened with paying
for education of children they don't even have.
