So a mom doesn't have to think twice before having a second or third kid for fear of the cost of a bigger car because the tax rate's too high in the state.

I mean, it's actually funny you say that. John Locke was one of the intellectual progenitors of our country's founding, as you're well aware, and the ownership of private property was foundational to the formation of the United States of America. And so I think we would do well to remember those basic time testing principles.
