It is not necessarily a problem with progressive income taxes: the wealthier still pay more.

Also, giving every kid the same treatment is a good idea in general as it reinforces the idea that they should be treated equally.

Actually what it does is teach kids they should depend on the government for handouts - even if there families can easily afford to pay their own way. Not a message I would choose to send.

Kids depend on adults. Those adults are primarily their parents, but it need not be.
