The solution to their problem is not for the wife to take a job. They do not live within their means, take personal responsibility for their own actions and for their own needs, and for the needs of their family and the children the bring into the world. Getting more money will not change any of those character flaws; they would just have the same demands on others to pay their way at a higher level of expense.They could solve their problems if the wife would just be willing to take a part-time job. Jobs are going begging, and paying well above minimum.
It's not a question of her having more children than she can afford. Whether they had one child or eight children, they would be bums, not taking responsibility for their children, planning on others paying for their medical care should any serious condition arise.But she had more kids than she can afford, so now she has to get another job - a part-time one while the kids are in school.
I could have just as well said that “my job” was to get good grades while I was in college, so someone else has to give me money.
Anyone who chooses not to live in poverty doesn't live in poverty. I'm OK with people choosing couch time over study time, MSNBC time over work time, etc. That's their choice. It' OK for them to choose to be poor. They make the choice, they live with the consequences.Good point. We need more people living in poverty so that you don’t have to pay 5% more for hamburger.
Agree, and that goes back to entitlement. Who says a family is entitled to a house at all? Maybe they need to downsize to a townhouse. Maybe they should cancel their premium cable package. Maybe they can cut out the dinners out. Because if they are crying that they can’t support the family on $150k income, it’s not that their income is too low - it’s that they are living as if they have a $200k income, and expecting other people to make up the difference.It's not a question of her having more children than she can afford. Whether they had one child or eight children, they would be bums, not taking responsibility for their children, planning on others paying for their medical care should any serious condition arise.
They can absolutely afford the children they have. What they can't afford are the things they have chosen instead of caring for their children. Too expensive of car(s), too expensive of a home, clothes, food, etc., too many TVs, cable, cell phones, etc. I bet they have top of the line phones.
No one said anything about this family not being able to survive.The outrage is the complaint that only this tax credit allows them to "survive", and of course it's the fault of the mean old Republicans to not allow this one part to pass because of their opposition to the 10 tons of other crap in the bill that contained it.
Massive handout? This cut pales in comparison to the handouts given to multinational corporations, billionaires and the wealthy elites that Republicans have constantly championed.So what are you doing with the massive handout to affluent families? What a hypocrite! We are going into trillions and trillions more debt so that the $150,000 families can live high on the hog, and THE NEXT GENERATION is going to pay for it.
You people in your 30s and 40s and 50s demanding all sorts of government handouts should be ashamed of what you’re saddling your kids with.
I’m throwing your rhetoric back at you and seeing you recoil. Sadly you’re not smart enough to see how it reflects on you.And news flash: one would need to save $1 million to live somewhat comfortably as a retiree, a hard feat indeed. You think the affluent father earning six figures who is complaining that he can’t afford braces for his kids teeth is saving ANY money, let alone a mil?
There is no excuse for not getting a job anymore, there sure are plenty of them out there. Sure it may not be his dream job but when times are tough it doesn't matter, you get the job anyway. And his wife doesn't want to work? Well tough shit, you get a job. There are plenty of opportunities for her to even have a remote job she can do from home. I mean there are single parents with multiple kids that still have a job, go ask most poor ass urban parents.
This sounds like a case of they can't have their sweet ideal life and they are upset about it. They don't want to do any real work or put any real effort into life. They want the easy route because they are soft and weak.
It's their fault they had so many kids, it's their fault they didn't build in a safety plan into their lives for this to happen and it's their fault they don't want to work.
Fuck em.
I am a Boomer. Yes, at the cusp of the cutoff, but a boomer none the less. So, a corporation, or a CEO, or a business owner, is supposed to take advantage of every tax break, every tax credit, every available avenue to maximize corporate income. But if I, as an individual, decide to behave in the same way I am somehow condemned? Bullshit, I ran my family like a business. First and foremost, there is no value that can be placed on a stay-at-home Mom. Especially when you have half a dozen kids. Matter of fact, to ask that mother to work is the same thing as pissing in the wind. And here is the other thing, school age children need a stay-at-home Mom as much, if not more, that children that are not school aged. And college, same damn thing. That type of investment needs to have the catalyst of a stay-at-home Mom.Yes, pretty much the last week or so. Is he operating under more than one name? Because there sure are a lot of liberal millennials, or Gen X maybe, who hold the elderly in contempt.

Can we get something clear. The child tax credit is no more welfare than the electric car purchase tax credit. Or the clean energy tax credit, or the dozens of other tax credits that are available for individuals and businesses. For corporations there is the foreign tax credit, the investment credit, the work opportunity credit, alcohol fuels credit, research credit and on and on and on, are those corporations on welfare? Attempting to relate the child tax credit with welfare is disingenuous at best, and sheer ignorance at worse.
LMAO, again, I am a Boomer, but the respect I have among the Gen Xer's, the Millennials, and every other younger generation is immeasurable, it is why I work with them. That is because respect is a two-way street. When it comes to Millennials, they may very well exceed the accomplishments of the Greatest Generation. I mean people like you see the purpled haired girl working the self-checkout at Walmart. I see the young professionals, savers, like the greatest generation, over 600,000 of them have a net worth of over a million dollars. Charitable, socially conscious, and driven. They are the future, and we are at the cusp of when they will replace the parasites that are the boomers, as the most powerful generation. Your kind is dying out, thankfully so, time to embrace the future and move forward.I only skimmed your rant, but enough to see that you don’t work with Boomers any more. Thank G-d. That would be like a Hitler type “helping” Jews plan their retirement.
But remember, you angry, entitled Gen Xer: One day YOU will be old, and the generation now children, whom you will have saddled with an unbearable burden due to your greediness, will have the same low opinion of you.
Your avatar........chuckle chuckle...lololYeppers. I can just see that thing in a BurnLootMurder t-shirt and jammy pants in a year or two.
I'll buy most of that except the last statementLMAO, again, I am a Boomer, but the respect I have among the Gen Xer's, the Millennials, and every other younger generation is immeasurable, it is why I work with them.

Yes, absolutely, we need a baby boom. Truth of the matter is, without immigrants, both legal and illegal, this country's population growth would be negative. And that is a reflection of the Boomers more than anything. To self-absorbed to sacrifice to have children, they have used birth control to feed their own delusional desires. I mean you guys often lament about Europe, but Europe is dying, precisely because they have a negative birth rate. I mean I am here to tell you, I have had six kids and I don't think I am done. More of me is what this world needs.Can we get something clear? The child tax credit is absolutely welfare. It differs from electric car purchase credits or others because those credits are intended to drive behavior or change in society. I don't agree with those credits either but they at least have a purpose related to something the government, not the politicians, have an interest - other than buying votes.
Are you arguing that the left's goal is for American families to have more children? We're underpopulated and need a baby boom to correct it? No; the child tax credit is absolutely nothing more than buying votes, and the recipients angry at any politician who votes against them.
Denying that the child tax credit is welfare is sheer ignorance at its best and an out-and-out, disingenuous, lie at its worst.
Something where he can wear his PINK shirt......Wait a minute. I have so many qweshens just looking at their pic
What the hell is the Rainbow Ranch?
In all my financial dealings with every socioecon background, I found that often, the working poor had the nicest flat screens, cars, and other pleasures.Harsh....but correct.
One day we should discuss it, but I don't believe that there is poverty in this nation. I find it simply a Democrat talking point.
. "The government’s own statistics show that people who are said to be “living in poverty” spend more than $1.50 for each dollar of income they claim." http://theghostfighters.wordpress.c...ding-ovation-the-faculty-were-deathly-silent/
Had the jab? If so, you ain't having any baby boom any time in your lifetime. Nice thought, however.Yes, absolutely, we need a baby boom.

If I was the oldest I'd have a family murder suicide. First to put my poor siblings out of a miserable life and save them. And 2nd for my parents for ever breedingSomething where he can wear his PINK shirt......
Libs money grabbing---again.
