I'm so tired of the financial benefits that a) married couples, and b) parents, receive.

I'm so tired of the financial benefits that a) married couples, and b) parents, receive. Being married or having children should provide exactly zero financial benefit from governments beyond what bachelors/bachelorettes receive. It makes absolutely no sense that simply hitching yourself to another person or reproducing magically means you get government handouts. Neither of these situations provide substantial benefit to society deserving of special treatment. The discrimination against those of us who remain single is just mind-blowing. Every adult should have the same government-mandated financial burden and reimbursement cheques in the mail. Why shacking up or pumping out kids gives the adults involved an advantage in their financial livelihoods is ridiculous. :(
