You're right.
My income is higher than average for my area (not by a lot), and so of course my tax contribution is higher. That makes sense and is how it should work. That in general never bothered me.
I'm trying to think of what triggered my irritation specifically for tax breaks for those with dependants in the first place and I'm coming up empty. Regardless, I was wrong to think that way.
