the underlying agenda behind a lot of the “equal opportunity” nonsense. Progs/Libs know that equal opportunity already exists, they want equal outcome.
I agree with that. What is scary is that the uneducated are having children, the educated are not.
I have no solution to that problem.

Yeah ok, let me know when suicide numbers are higher than the murder numbers that communism is responsible for and I may change my mind.

When the troubling rise in American suicide rates is taken in context with the relentless redistribution of wealth from the bottom 90 percent to the top 1 percent that took place over the same period, the culprit behind the wave of suicides is abundantly clear. Working-class Americans — when faced with rapidly increasing costs of living and stagnant wages — are forced to work longer hours just to stay afloat. Tragically, for thousands of financially unstable Americans, the stress of providing for their household amidst crushing student debt, housing prices, and healthcare costs eventually became too much to bear.

Simple fix. Sterilization.
Give incentives to our poor and those on welfare to get sterilized before having children.
Prohibits them from starting another generation on welfare, and stops them from making the most expensive and long lasting mistake a human can make. Have a child they can’t afford.
If they better their lives and get out of poverty and get married and want to have children? They have pick of the litter from the literal millions of children in adoption houses across the globe.
So. About you volunteering to pay more in taxes. You gonna lead by example this coming year and pay more than you’re required, right? I hope you’re going to fire that CPA for stealing all that tax dollars from us. We deserve YOUR money yoga.

I also have my own money. But, my income is not relevant to this discussion.
I mean, it kind of is. Since you've always had daddy's money and accomplishments to stand on it's obviously caused you to have a serious disconnect with lower/middle class people who love the dream of a better life built upon personal accomplishment. Because you've never HAD to accomplish anything.
Now I'm not saying this is true of all children of wealthy/accomplished individuals, some parents actually do teach the value of hard work. I'm just talking about you and the other upper class left wing nuts.

Harsh, but hard to disagree with. You'll never fix it due to party politics (I despise party politics) but why should someone have a child they cannot afford to raise?

I work very hard. I've hauled hay, mucked out stalls, mowed, installed fence posts, etc.
I want the middle and lower classes to have a chance to rise up, but they cannot do so when they are paid $7.25 per hour. Why work at all? It would make more sense to get government assistance.
Do you like subsidizing Wal-Mart's terribly low pay scale?

We are literally turning idiocracy into a documentary. You have a huge disproportionate percentage of birth rate from the poor and uneducated to the educated. I am part of that issue since I am 30 with no children.

So..... you’re going to fire your cpa and pay a higher percentage than required in taxes this coming year.
Right?
Weird you keep passing over that. Miss we need to pay more and I wouldn’t mind paying 50% in taxes yet utilizes a CPA to ensure they pay as little as legally possible.

How about you look to better yourself through education or experience to gain some form of a skill so you are worth more than minimum wage. I've stated before it should be raised some but not to the $15 scale. Minimum wage jobs are/were never meant to be a living wage that you raise a family on. The people I know do have minimum wage jobs and raising a family, have 2-3 to make ends meet.

That’s hobby work. And isn’t hard at all. You aren’t the only one to have done this stuff.
Those are called CHORES. Not WORK.

No. It shouldn’t be raised.
It should be abandoned entirely

I do disagree with that. I think it should be around the $9/hr range. $15/hr is a complete joke though.

You are so right, I completely agree.
Which brings me to my next point: we need to get rid of government assistance.

So am i. And i agree with yoga's point as far as the uneducated government needy are having children at a scary rate compared to the educated independent.
I'm 32. Wife 27. We want kids. Just not right now. And probably only 2. Right now we want to grind at work, take awesome vacations, and enjoy not having that added responsibility. our marriage is also new, we want to enjoy that to it's fullest for a few years, before children.
i think a lot of young educated hardworking couples are doing the same.

couldn't agree more. i would rather my tax dollars go to incentives for the uneducated government dependent class of people to be sterilized than a lot of other programs.
bottom line is. if you can't support yourself without the working class' tax dollars, you should not be allowed to bring children into this world to continue that welfare cycle. is it harsh, yes. but we would be saving this country's future by doing so. unfortunately, the uneducated and lazy have figured out there isn't much of a difference between $7.25/hr 40 hour week job and getting that gubment paycheck in the mail. And the latter is whole lot easier on them.

Nope. Pay should be decided between the employee and employer. That’s it. Not the govt.

I mostly enjoy doing the work, but it is not "hobby work." Also, chores are work. When a woman stays at home with her children, the work she does is work.
I could hire someone to do all the work I described, but I don't (though I do have people who work for me). I'm an employer.

that's called being a responsible adult and parent.
