Hi Allison,

So I wanted to say that I am childless by choice, population was a factor, climate however was not.  I am also vegan by choice, my decision to be vegan was influenced by climate.

With regards to one of the past callers who brought up the tax credits per child.  If the govt grants a tax credit per child and made a change such as a credit for the first child, second negates, then a higher tax on 3rd, 4th etc..  If someone wanted to argue that the govt would then be involved in one's personal life...  The same argument could be made about granting a tax credit for each child.
