Because of course its all about the non working mom who is shacked up or remarried to a new guy and the kid and not the guy who is actually generating the national GDP. If the nation punishes the actual productive members of its society then this is what you get. No one told the govt they needed to provide welfare for single moms which is what spawned the child support movement and thus the disincentive to work and future men to be very careful to not have children.

We live in a child centric socity where children having the latests toys and gadgets are considered a "need" and we make the GDP creators pay for it. If the family falls apart then everyone suffers including the kids, thats life. Maybe the mom/wife should have tried a little harder to keep things together.
It would be nice if there were some kind of policy under which, those who couldn't afford kids would, get this, NOT HAVE THEM. And be forced to go out and get a trade, go to trade school, get their noses in a book somewhere, get either a diploma or a degree, something. Hopefully something employable (in this economy, ha ha, I know). If you know you can't afford to have kids, get this: don't get pregnant. What's so hard about that - the stuff is available at DOLLAR TREE for God's sake. I mean they're not even TRYING. (in the world I've gotten schlepped into against my will and against my better judgement).

And yes I know, women get suckered into thinking, believing (WANTING to believe, maybe?) that the guy is going to support them or the State will. RE-married? In most minority communities these days there's no FIRST marriage to begin with, so no RE-marriage can take place.

Let's see, don't start HAVING babies unless you're properly married to someone who can properly support all of you, what part of that was so danged "wrong" according to the feminist movement or what the heck ever movement got us into this current societal predicament???

Seems to me many of the productive members of society are, get this... Not having kids! Why??? Because, umm, they are expensive maybe? And besides, these folks are busy paying for everyone elses kids. Makes it even more difficult to raise and feed your own children. Mean while, the dead beats are pumping them out like the good times never ended. Go America!

I'm thinking about settling for a dog. I know too many parents who've went, or are in the process of going broke trying to put their kids through college.

It s like asking flipper burger to pay tax so flipper burger can get job and pay tax... What a joke!

Yes the job market is tough and in the EU as well. But I know of several in the EU that make 6 figures and get 6 week off with a lot of other perks.

I know several in the oil and gas careers here in America with the same benefits and set up. It's not just in the EU.
