Whisky Tango Foxtrot?!

That would be a strong point if women were paid the same wages as men in America.  I don't want to come off as some screaming liberal about the issue, but the difference is a real problem.  And its not only in the high end executive jobs that women make less money than their male counterparts.  In fact, the pay descrepency is greater with 'low income' jobs than it is at the higher end.

Now, are deadbeat moms a problem?  Yes.  And do they deserve to be punished?  Yes. But until women have a fair shot at making the same money as men, its unfair to hold them to the same strict payment standard.

Bah humbug.

If this had any sense of truth, then why bother going after the deadbeat dads going nowhere slow in life working in Hardee's or Wafflehouse for minwage... Courts go after those guys too with UNREASONABLE demands made for their income. In the paper a couple months ago, in a rare case of the local paper trying to be helpful, they had the story of some poor sap making minwage but still required by the courts to pay 400 a week in support. He didn't make it. You know, he had all those things the rest of us do... Rent, bills, etc. He's dirt poor and the payments were well beyond any reasonable expectations on what he could actually earn and afford to pay. Actually, if my memory serves me correctly, he was a grease monkey at Jiffylube.

So the whole woman don't earn as much thing is hokey. If they expect a man to take on a second job or even a third job, then so can a woman... Or are you implying that a woman is helpless and unable to do a hard days work? :rolleyes:(j/k) Women can earn minwage just the same as a man can. Men are expected to in these sorts of things, and by hearing all the loud vocalisations coming out of women that they can do everything a man can and then some, let's see them put up or shup.

For me, it's not about men vs women or anything like that. It's not about sexism. It's more about personal responsibility.
