This aint funny.
If she is holding one full time job as well as having to hold two other part time jobs to make ends meet then it is a shame. One full time and one part time is OK IMO, but having to hold all three is a disgrace upon our system of government. It tells me that becuase this lady has to work all these jobs the system has become so FAT that it requires ALL of us to work ALL the time so they can collect the tax revenues from us to feed their fat pork budgets. Then they turn around and flim flam us on the issue of morality and all. How the hell you gonna raise kids when both parents have to work 70 to 80 hours a week to pay the dam local, state and federal taxes? Then they wonder why todays kids are running afoul of the law?
On the other hand. If she is working three part time jobs, then she might not be working much over 40 or 50 hours a week.
Now I know..there is gonna be this "so you want a 35 hours work week like the French" BS coming. NO, but I would like to see it so parents can be home when the kids get out of school and swat their little behinds when they act up! Isnt that a unique idea? I wonder how anyone could come up with such an idea. Mom works a part time job and is home to make supper at night and be there when the kids get home from school and have the table set for when Dad gets home.
And they wonder why the divorce rate is so high? Hell..the parents never see each other as they are working to support this miserable money pit of a guberment. So what the heck..why stay married! Divorce and let the freaking guberment raise the kids at school.
good post - way too many freepers miss the mark on economic arguments, I am glad you posted that, maybe the flames can be split between you and me!

No need - the state school and after hours programs will raise the children. And some day the freemarketeers will send children to do honest labour as it used to be in XIX century. Much better than the expensive schooling!!!
Good angle/observation.
Pssst, it's not a disgrace at all but compliance to government's expectations of our role in life, which is to be income producers for the spendthrifts in public office ;-)
"How the hell you gonna raise kids when both parents have to work 70 to 80 hours a week to pay the dam local, state and federal taxes?"
Johnny Gang and Uncle Crack will help raise the kids, no questions asked.
Well..then the parents better start giving up the cell phones, cable tv, internet connections, Ipods, $100 sneakers etc. so that they can stay home with their kids more. I had a barbie doll and a bike growing up......and my parents didn't have to think about filing bankruptcy. Kids today are SPOILED ROTTEN. I had chores too.
Well said.
Thank You
