I'm a bit old school: women don't belong in MOST work situations, where the "breadwinner" earns the income, and the woman is the PRIME guidance for the children, as Nature intended. Modern-day, women have been FORCED to work because the TAX BURDEN is so great that a single income becomes VERY hard to sustain a reasonable standard of living.

Couple this with the encouragement of women to be "independent", thinking somehow this will make them "whole", is a fallacy and solely intended to destroy a nuclear family, as evindenced by the new term "single mother", where we used to use terms such as "divorcee, slut, tramp, easy-lay, etc."

You are correct on all counts. It is awful how much money is given to taxes, health care, retirement, Social Security, etc. You pretty much have a very small amount left no matter how much you make. That is why I laugh so hard at those dummies who want 15 dollars an hour working at McDonald’s. They will be LUCKY to break even than what they receive now after all the HIGHER deductions are taken out.
