Don't let a bureaucrat see your home too "dirty". You may lose your kids.<br /><br />Once established, such an institution becomes intolerant of any competition, particularly of the home-grown variety. And as long as we put up with their impositions, we will see more of them.PJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-23103079711596287992015-02-22T19:09:03.877-08:002015-02-22T19:09:03.877-08:00Would eliminating income tax for parents of kids u...Would eliminating income tax for parents of kids under 12 or 13 help parents spend more time with kids and not need a second wage earner?<br />I figure ~50% of the second wage earners money goes to child care.

The consequences have been visible for a long period of time,for those like yourself,who paid attention. The disintegration of the family unit has always been the key to the rotting of the carcass from the inside. I remember vividly, Nikita Krushchev banging his shoe and telling us what he was going to do. I believed him then and I believe him now.Knuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143254160551745119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-63088738703443704392015-02-17T03:14:56.141-08:002015-02-17T03:14:56.141-08:00On the face of it, child outsourcing makes economi...On the face of it, child outsourcing makes economic sense. One adult can probably take care of way more than two or three kids at a time, or at least, the marginal effort needed to care for a few more might diminish the more you have.<br /><br />But that's just economics. The social aspect on child (and mother!) well-being is of course another.Red Knightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-410008923094457602015-02-16T09:35:50.027-08:002015-02-16T09:35:50.027-08:00Well said although in the past the idea wasn'...Well said although in the past the idea wasn't the gender-neutral "one parent" stays home. There were sex roles enforced by law and accepted by society which required men to support their wives and children. These laws got bastardized in the 60s and 70s to force both husband and wife, mother and father, to equally be financially responsible for the family which gutted the original meaning of marriage in the first place, which was women caring for the home, children and others while being supporting and protected by their husbands and living under the authority of husbands. This is also the source of the "gender wars" that have been raging for decades now.The Radical Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933489101373415907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-68408673986892469932015-02-15T04:11:55.339-08:002015-02-15T04:11:55.339-08:00I don't know where you get that children are p...I don't know where you get that children are parasites of nature.<br /><br />Rather, they've become parasites by social design.<br /><br />Donald Trump started working at the age of 3, helping his father with construction chores.<br /><br />Back in the agrarian days, children worked on the land and helped their parents with farming and growing chores. They created value.<br /><br />After an argument with his father, my grandfather left the home at 11 and started lumber work. He grew to become a professional chauffeur-driller.<br /><br />All that was possible back then, before the 1950's.<br /><br />Also, consider that in tribal times, the more able bodied MEN you had, the stronger your tribe became. So children were viewed as an investment, not parasites.<br /><br />Back in the 1950's there was high demand for workers on the one hand and low barriers to entry on the other.<br /><br />In our heavily regulated, credentialism burdened and consumerist society, we have placed too much barriers to entry in the work force.<br /><br />Some of today's children are parasites way in their 30's.<br /><br />There are even current laws being studied in Canada that forbids teenager work until the age of 18. Their logic is to force teenagers to focus on their studies.<br /><br />But a Forbes article has shown that teenagers and children who work part time and earn some income fare much better when they become adults.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-13285120558455082152015-02-14T10:15:54.673-08:002015-02-14T10:15:54.673-08:00There may be a conservative opportunity here.

I bust my ass at sea for 8-10 months a year to live in a wealthy town, send my kid to a good school and allow my wife time as a stay-at-home mom. Just like most of my neighbors, who all have well-adjusted, relatively happy kids.<br /> OTOH, you get the yay, diversity kids with their 400-lb EBT card-slinging moms and low-voltage IQ's, and a history of neglect (what else can you call having a god-damned stranger raising your kid for you?) bussed in and killing test scores and dragging down the learning pace...<br /> But you know, my kid's fine. Too bad there's not much competition for him academically, but the school still separates kids by ability, something that doesn't get done anymore in most of the country. Having 2 parents in an intact nuclear family is no longer normal, so it becomes a massive leg up for kids.
