Well, to be fair, having kids does have a negative impact on the environment, and some studies indicate that having children makes people unhappy, so maybe it should be discouraged via taxation.

Yes. They absolutely should.

Once you start playing these games with the tax code, you end up with the laughable system we have now that only benefits tax accountants and politicians.
