- Marriage and family life should be supported by government

In our culture there is a perverse idea that Marriage and Family are universally desired, and therefore the State should recognize and support them. I for one do not "desire" marriage one bit, not can I say for sure that I will ever desire it. Therefore, BY DEFINITION, neither marriage nor family can be considered Universal (which would require that absolutely 100% of all people agreed).

If I decide never to get married, why is it that I have to pay for the tax breaks, child support, education and other government subsidies for families. It is absurd, and utterly unfair. They are making a choice, and they should pay the true costs for it.
