While you may not like the method by which it is communicated, the
analysis presented is, essentially, correct.

Marriage has historically been about survival of the family. Men
provide the financial support, and women provide the emotional support
and domestic duties. Since women have attained more "rights", the
double income family has become a reality. Women now have the "right"
to toil right along side men. And due to greed and market forces, both
domestic and global, everthing costs WAY MORE than it used to.

It was all about supply and demand. There was no supply of money, so
things could not be expensive (a higher price could not be "demanded"
because the market would not bear it). I submit that women were given
"rights" not for the sake of the humanity of the decision, but because
someone saw an opportunity to make a buck off it. Think of it, taxes
always go up. And in particular, Income Tax goes up not only every
year, but also as a function of your income! So you get a double hit
every year. Houses, cars, food, you name it - it has ALL gone up
radically in the last 40 years. Yet your wages have NOT kept pace.

The cost of social services to the government has also skyrocketed.
They are looking for ways to reduce costs. If divorced women wind up
on welfare, then costs will go up, not down. So what do they do???

DIVORCE is the mechanism by which the government, cloaked in concern
for "the woman" or "the child" and their impending
"impoverishment",
plays Robin Hood and steels money from those who have to give to those
who have not - taking their cut along the way of course!

Classic example: Here in BC, a single mother on welfare can collect /
earn $100 per month without any "penalty" on their welfare cheque. And
many welfare moms with children collect $100 per month from the "dad".
In the last few years, the government has forced these women to sign a
document giving the government the right to sue the father for child
support on their behalf! If they refuse to sign, they are cut off
welfare.

What happens next is that the government lawyers take the father to
court and usually get an order for around $500 per month per child.
Anything over $100 is deducted from the welfare mother's cheque. So,
in the end, the government will only wind up paying $100 to $200 per
month, the balance being paid by the "NCP" (father).

Even if there are no children involved, the "family" courts award
outrageous "spousal support" orders. In my case, my ex was awarded
$800 PER MONTH when she was gainfully employable at a professional
level at or higher than I was at the time. I know women who did not
even get that amount of support for two children! But the judges are
appointed by the government, so they look after their own! The
government does not want these women applying for welfare because they
will take heat politically if they say "no" to a woman. The government
has no problem saying "no" to men, just a quick drive down city
streets to see the number of homeless men .vs. the number of homeless
women confirms that.

The government has instituted a form of legalized indentured
servitude. It is only a matter of time before those who have been
unwittingly hoodwinked by the government wake up and smell the coffee.
The result of such an awakening is likely to be some form of revolt.

I would pray that the situation is rectified in some other way, but I
just don't see that happening. The government has a strangle hold on
our wallets, and they wont let go easily. And the femminists have a
strangle hold on the government, and they wont give it up without a
fight.

Looks like sooner or later things will come to blows. :(
