Alle Gory, why do Liberals always lose?
Ask yourself that.
Liberals are losers.
You're on thin ice after you spammed us with that porn "blog". I voted in your favor, to keep you here and not ban you. Should I do the same next time?
Second warning. Contribute if you like, but this is worthless crap. This website if for 13 years of age and older.
Your blog is also bad and you should feel bad.

What is your one-line summary?
Everyone is deserving of equality and freedom. Nothing less, nothing more. Their freedom ends where mine beings.
I don't know... the Constitution, the Bill of Rights?

Low wages are a result of feminism (increasing the supply of the labor pool), unions for pricing labor out of the market, and the fiat currency system with the power of compound interest on the debt.
I know, I already mentioned this. As far as unions... unions don't make for low wages. Unions make for higher wages by clawing money away from executives and shareholders.
Housing is still affordable, it just may not be the house you want, but it's still affordable (problem is, peopel don't care what they afford, they just buy what they want on credit). Nor are income levels and job availability the primary cause of destroying the traditional family.
I disagree with this, because you prove my point a little bit later...
It is caused by removing the accountability from people. They all have the latest cars, flat screens and i-tools. Never caring about the debt they amass or living within their means. Why do you think there are so many advertisements with the "Buy now, no payments for 36 months"? So that people can have things now and be enslaved to them later. THAT is what requires people to work two jobs to support a family (whether it is both parents working or one parent with two jobs).
Well, the problem is if we didn't have this crap people would be out of even more work. Imagine if you will, all the crap in the world is no longer produced. Now what? Where are the jobs? You buy a stove, that thing lasts forever, the stove makers need less workers. Bam! People on the street.
Gadget makers, as seen on TV garbage, no longer needed. Bam! People on the street, most in China but there are executives and designers here.
The latest iGadget? Bam! Everyone working for Apple on the street. Apple no longer exists. Everything replaced with standard OEM hardware and commodity Linux, like the Army uses. Built to last, not be pretty.
Retail stores? Now you need less. More people on the street.
So while I agree with you about what the right thing to do is, the effects of doing that are pretty severe.
Maybe this is why so much money was thrown away during that bailout on useless crap.
My brother is a teacher with three children and a wife. He is the only worker in the house. He lives within his means and they don't have the latest awesome i-tool. But they do fine as a traditional family with their own house, two cars and even a retirement fund.
And you proved my point. Your brother can afford to have a traditional family. He can afford to keep his wife at home. And he can afford to be at work kicking ass like men should be. Imagine if this happened on a larger scale and most families could afford to live with just the husband working.
Socially things would be more stable because men would run things. Most women REALLY want to work, do they?
