if the tax burden was what it was in the 50's, we'd all be living the life of ozzie and harriet.

nope, now, even grampa has to work beyond what he'd thought. oh, and gramma.

oh, and mom.

some of us are fortunate to have stay at home mommies for their kids. sadly, not enough of us are that fortunate, and especially sadly, the urban homes that need parental guidance the most are burdened, even with "progressive" taxes.

socialism at work.

we all lose.

Correction: The majority lose. The elite win. And they win BIG TIME!

It's not really a choice anymore.

Most moms and dads have to work just to pay for everything, and the endless taxes just compound the problem.

Many people are paying $1,000 to $2500 a month nowadays just for a monthly mortgage payment. This alone is crippling.

Add one or two car payments, taxes, food, kids, insurance, credit cards, and wammo, everyone is working around the clock...It's a tag team.

Kinda sad, and very stressful.

We've personally got out of all debt and plan on staying out of debt at all cost.

There are some women here in the US who work because they want to , not because they have to.

I know many women who could afford to stay home. That is if they put their children's needs before their own wants.
