Abstract:

The proper way to finance tax relief to families with children is to restrain the increase in new government spending. What families need from government is not new spending and new social programs. These programs not only have done little or nothing to preserve families - in many cases the programs actually have triggered the breakup of families. What families really need is for government to allow them to keep a greater share of their own hard-earned money.
