Wow - has it been a year?? With no kids, I don't even notice the passing of time. One hedonistic year is just like the other...
I shall celebrate with a glass of wine and some Girl Scout cookies (from someone else's kid of course...)

but the cost of raising children is increasingly being borne by fewer and fewer in the general population.
Childless adults are rapidly becoming economic free riders on the backs of parents.
Only in an America where people could seriously think of voting for Obama or Hillary could there exist people who are such incredible dumb-asses as to say something as bone-headed as this.

The two are connected — the belief that paying the cost of one’s own decisions is somehow “unfair” goes hand in hand with leftism.

What I was getting at was the ridiculousness of the idea that there was some general "cost of raising children" out there that had to be borne by fewer and fewer people, as though that put an additional burden on the ones who decided to raise children. The fact is that fewer and fewer people at the higher end of the income spectrum are paying a greater and greater percentage of the cost of government. Also, I've heard people say that we couldn't have large families today because there isn't as much disposable income as there used to be. This is absurd. Back in the days of 6 to 8 children families (like those of my father and my mother), there was far less disposable income than there is now. Nowadays, in comparison, families spend huge amounts of money on forms of entertainment that didn't even exist 50 years ago and which, if they were suddenly lost tomorrow, would not impoverish a child's mind or his spirit.

The childless shouldn't be allowed to vote. They have little interest in the future of the nation.
I'm single, middle age, not married and I can vote too. That this causes preening, smug, gasbags to have there knickers in a knot over it is a plus. :-)

Would you like to be added to the FREERIDER ping list, and have fun with other obnoxious childfree folks?

Had I known that this thread was 2 years old, I probably wouldn’t have posted anything. :-) Oh well, I work midshift and I was bored. What the hell, add me to the ping list.

Will do, it’s pretty infrequent pings. If you’re bored again, read through the thread around posts 300-500, that’s where the FREERIDERS started... a pretty good thread hijack.
