What if my father didn't have kids?

Then, as a matter of fact, he'll have to rely on someone else's kids to feed him, whether directly or through taxes.

If he voluntarily chose not to raise kids, not even adopted ones, then he placed himself at the mercy of strangers. This may or may not end well, depending on how much spare resources they have.

so this: "You can raise you personal "taxes" and provide for you father if you so desire." was just a non sequitur
