“Growing up in the 60s (before taxes put all women to work),”
I believe that it wasn’t so much the taxes that put all women to work. It was the feminist movement, which gave employers permission to pay men less than before. That trickled down to the husband not being able to support a family on his salary alone.
It also gave marginal husbands the permission and opportunity to be slackers. Why work so hard if Mama is bringing in bacon, too.
Rush discussed this often. I think it’s covered in one of his books.
Capitalism and increased standard of living allows for a feminist movement. Poor countries and peoples didn't have time to worry about that, they were too busy trying to survive. More wealth and income allows for people to hang out and think of movements and revolutions for like that, same for gays, trannies, and other deviants.
I didn’t know a single “feminist” mom in my neighborhood while growing up. I do know that most of those mothers had gone to work by 1975.
