Tax Break

  

Have a kid. Get a tax break. Have a mortgage. Get a tax break. Have a meaningful health issue. Get a tax break.

Tax breaks are the way our government makes life a bit easier when it offers lemons instead of lemonade. And no, kids are not lemons. They are joy and love all the time, 24/7.

"Tax break" = "special tax deduction." It's a good thing. Pass the sugar. And condoms.
