Because that is not how our tax system works. If it did, and the people who benefit from government services paid their own way, wouldn't your taxes increase for each dependent instead of going down? Wouldn't a single, childless person pay less in taxes because they required less from government services such as schools?
The system is pre-loaded and structured to take the money from those who earn it and have it, not those who consume the services paid for by taxes and fees.
Hmmm........That does seem kind of backwards.
