They take one solid week’s pay from me every single month to fund the government I work a forty hour week. To pay for the government. After getting two college degrees and serving in combat during the war. My parents and their contemporaries would never have put up with that That’s another aspect of the story, the situation
If I had worked while raising my kids I’d have given up at least another whole week per month to pay for that and to pay to work (transportation, housekeeping, etc).
Never would I have left my kids without their mom. And to give the government a week a month out of my life? out of the kids’ lives? That’s insane
And no way the government has not grown addicted to womens’ contribution. If it were only men working, the government would be using half the money they’re using now. And this government is 22trillion in debt. Why would I work a week a month for people who mismanage money to that extent and let my kids be without apparent ?
I grew up upper middle class big suburb. Get tw degrees husband with two degrees. Oh. I married a provider, btw, lived in a small house in flyover around similar minded and educated people. When the kids got older taught school. Was home holidays summers.
Women are so dupe-able. They take for granted raising their children without them.
I believe the "greatest generation" actually encouraged the growth of government in all realms.
