But that's not the deal society is giving you. Society is forcing you to pay taxes now so that when you become old society will take care of you. The promise is unrelated to those future children. Society doesn't even give you the option to opt out from that.

People aren't committing a noble sacrifice when they have children. They want to have children, it's a pretty strong drive for virtually any living being.
