Two is Enough: Why large families don't deserve tax breaks. By Dalton Conley over at Slate.

Conley is the author of a book called The Pecking Order: Which Siblings Succeed and Why. The main thrust of his article is that government shouldn't be encouraging large families through tax policy. This argument brought to mind the idea that many had in the past about social welfare payments based on the number of kids one had (remember President Reagan complaining about welfare queens). Funny that the crybabies on the right don't complain about this sort of social engineering, but then again I guess they're not seeking out the "poor vote."
