I understand and agree with what you are saying to an extent. Funneling the profits all to the top, while ignoring the workers who got you there, is like not dancing with the whore that brought you to the dance. I always heard here in the south, you should dance with the whore that brung ya.Yes. and I said I didn't diss him. But the real income per households then and now do NOT support the notion that the increase in household women from working women is simply swallowed up by more consumpetion. the FACTs are that those in the lower quintile have not seen that much increase. And it the 2nd and 3rd ... not so much either. Real wages have gone down, and women in the work force have kept household income going up as it did before two incomes were necessary.
But Uncensored also said that cars are better and houses are bigger, etc. And he's right about that. We have better stuff despite the demise of unions.
What my post said was that in terms of gains in income since the two earner families, the vast maj went to the top quintile. Some to the second largest. But the lower middle two ... not so much. And not much for the bottom. BUT we didn't have the earned income tax credit. And employers paid for more healthcare then. So, while incomes in real dollars are what they are, simply trying to make some sense of the numbers doesn't say the whole story.

Well I'm not trying to argue about income disparity. I certainly don't want to pay more taxes for the dems human infrastrucure.I understand and agree with what you are saying to an extent.

maybe he's a good dancer. (-:Why would a whore bring you to a dance?
And bow basic goods and things like cars and homes cost much more compared to household income. You are far out of touch, old man.Then maybe those families need t rework their budgets or just not have kids they can’t afford…
There was no cable tv in the home I grew up in. A second car wasn’t common either; and it definitely wasn’t a new vehicle. McDonalds was a RARE treat, and a sit-down restaurant almost unheard of luxury. Don’t tell me it can’t be done in this day and age.
My wife and I make it work on one salary. We own a house. We replace our car about every ten years. We don’t have lavish lifestyles or go on expensive vacations or spending sprees. We don’t have any kids.And bow basic goods and things like cars and homes cost much more compared to household income. You are far out of touch, old man
Oh well that settles it! What else do you do that you imagine the entire country can do?My wife and I make it work on one salary. We own a house. We replace our car about every ten years. We don’t have lavish lifestyles or go on expensive vacations or spending sprees. We don’t have any kids.
You're about 60 years off the mark.I think back in the 80's more advertisement was geared towards women getting there so called "independence" from a man by get more into the work force for those companies financial gain. Like Vanity Fair.
Depends on choices and priorities.Only an idiot can see that with wages the way they always have been(very low), only the very few can afford to have kids and stay home.
Right! Like, like under a roof and feed your kids, or not, for example.Depends on choices and priorities.
My family and I are nothing special at all. If we can do it, then most American families should be able to as well.Oh well that settles it! What else do you do that you imagine the entire country can do?
Where did you get that idea?Right! Like, like under a roof and feed your kids, or not, for example.
Why?Well more and more young people are deciding to focus on careers. That's a brave choice but we applaud them.
How did you NOT think of it? This is mostly why both parents work. I should not have to explain that. Are you trying to waste my time?Where did you get that idea?
Yep. Those are the women I wrote off without even talking to them or reading past the line in their online profiles where they professed their professional credentials or aspirations. It worth my time.Well more and more young people are deciding to focus on careers. That's a brave choice but we applaud them
