After collecting the rations, the government will arbitrarily redistribute those rations based on a super-secret formula.

You will want to discuss your ration taxation with a local Martian CPA. You may qualify for the Biodome energy efficiency credit. However, while Earth provides a child care tax credit, child care on Mars will get you a tax penalty.
