[Vision2020] Domenstic Benefits?

[Phil Nisbet]

Tom

One of the problems is that DINKs get the same benefit as a single parent 
with kids until the single parent has more than four kids and the thing 
balances out.  So why should two people who have no kids at all get a bigger 
benefit than singles who have kids or single who lack kids?
