This is my speech on childlessness; it's gone 'viral', as they say. I delivered it in the period leading up to passage of the government's 'No Jab No Pay' legislation. In it, I point out just how much taxpayers' money parents of children receive, money they ought not expect. I go on to thank the childless, who pay more tax, receive less welfare, and worse, get no thanks for their generosity.

When it was first released this video went viral, and I trust this video will open a dialog around appropriate uses of taxpayer dollars, and shed light on the many ways that the childless and childfree contribute to the common good.
What would you say if you had the lectern for a few minutes and could speak to the law and policy makers in your country?

Bravo for noticing that childless tax-payers contribute - and, by my observation, without the mean spirited attitude of tax-payers who complain, for instance, that their kids are grown, so why do they still have to pay school taxes?
