US Birthrate Continues to Decline

60% federal income tax rate on top of property taxes, state taxes, sales taxes, etc.? Are we still taking about a progressive rate, meaning all money above 1 million is taxed at 60% and money below is progressively taxed less down to 40k?

I would let you go back to filling out Schedule A to deduct those other taxes. What we used to do before Trump screwed with the tax code to mess with the Blue states.

The rich aren't paying their fair share, that's the point.

The Jean Carrol and other lawsuits like this are DEFINITE pauses for men to get anywhere near a woman. It doesn't matter if sex was consensual or not....she can change her mind and claim now it wasn't 20 years ago. Several high profile cases like this will definitely curb any amorous feelings any guy might have.

So don't have sex with a woman who isn't your wife.

Problem solved.

The poor aren’t paying their fair share.

The second graphs are hard to fathom. The harder those people work the farther behind they seem to get.

cause: Feminism telling our women to choose careers over being wives and mothers. Everywhere from our schools to the media that is what they hear. It is slavery they're told.
Solution: Male pregnancy through womb transplant? It solves the population problem and it doesn't do what feminism is planting in their minds.

The post where I explained about Henry Ford, the wages he paid, and the price of a car.

A day's wages THEN was 3.75% of a car's selling price. Today a day's wages is 0.4% of a car's selling price. Both wages were for unskilled labor....except I fluffed up today's wages a bit to $20/hr.

Meaning that today's incomes are one tenth of what they once were even if we are making a lot more dollars.
The second set of charts is mathematically demonstrating how this got worse in the past several years. Meaning....even if you got a cost of living raise you are still making less than you were.

This is the start of GenX.....
By the 70's and 80's most kid's parents each had their own job and vehicle.

We should probably tax tips.

 

[JohnDB]

Women over 40 now are having more babies than teens.

Too late....when that happened before dur to Democrat Congress it destroyed the quality in the restaurant industry. Now it's all heat and eat produced by Sysco.

Real ALL scratch kitchens? HA! They don't exist anymore....that because of tax on tips.
So now everyone eats highly processed foods....everywhere.

Oh let me guess....Democrats have yet another fix for the problem......NO THANK YOU....YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH ALREADY.

 

[sartre play]

Not necessarily...
Trends can reverse.

THEY CAN YES, BUT just the price of buying a starter home, is enough to help halt having childern.

You need to get out more.

 

[JoeB131]

Understandably so.

All of these countries have the same demographic problem we have- not enough births to replace the deaths.

 

[JohnDB]

You need to get out more.

Lots of places think mixing up from a mix is scratch cooking...it isn't.

The long slow cooking processes have been almost forgotten in most places.

Most modern cooks don't even know that there are different types of wheat flour and what those differences are. Much less what they are used for.

 

[JohnDB]

Anecdotal evidence is not proof....
But it does reflect scientific studies saying something similar....

That is a good example of the way men have been oppressed and demonized.

The law should definitely be changed to prevent such abuses.

As far as hypergamy.....
Rumor has it that Erica Kirk's kids are not actually Charlie's.....and if proven she gets cut off from everything. So far she has refused to participate in DNA testing of the children.

Not sure why the focus on her, but mandatory paternity tests at birth, should be required.

I'm not sure if you know her story with Charlie....but basically she flat out hunted him as women sometimes do with men.
She had a boyfriend when she first met charlie....and then overnight she didn't.

Just saying....I don't personally know all the ins and out of their relationship....but her hunting him is somewhat obvious.
