[Atrocities]

These are frightening statistics to be sure.

The issue now is that most familys cannot aford the expense of today. They must spend more time working, and more of the money they earn is taken out in tax (Thank you Bill Clinton) than before.

Oh sure Bush reduced some tax, but he increased other taxes to compensate so really there was no tax cut.

The effect of parents working more hours directly reflects the growing problem we see in youth crime these days. And society, namely the rich, blame crime on the poor, well no duh...

When your poor, and both parents are both working two jobs each to support the house hold and stay in food, you can bet your sweet arse that the kids are going to be effected. This goes without saying.

The wealth bell curve is no longer a bell curve. It is now only a matter of time before people both here in the US as well as else where, begin to demand changes. However if history is any guide, nothing will ever come of it until someone starts blowing crap up. God help us all when that happens. In the mean time we will just have to endure the rising cost of comodities, the increase in crime, the decrease in free time, and the increased presure of a stagnate and suffocating economy that despite claims, is NOT improving.

Well not improving the job market that is unless you want to flip burgers for $7.13 an hour 80 hours a week.
