Actually, SS uses the taxes of singles to subsidize benefits for couples and families.

>>>>>It is not uncommon today to find people who have consciously decided not to have children. That is their choice. Economic changes since 1973 have made it harder than ever to make ends meet. Since 1990 - even in these so-called "good economic times," bankruptcy filings have more than doubled. And, children can be expensive. 

Actually, as counter-intuitive as it may sound, prosperous families and societies have fewer offspring than their poorer counterparts.  Apparently they have the resources to appreciate consumer spending.  They are more 'distracted' by these things than those who are poorer.  The poor are more focused on the 'raising a family' aspect of life.
