- I think the convincing economic analysis for reducing society's burden
- is to cut off funds for unmarried teenage parents. I also think there
- should be a marked decrease in funding entitlements programmes in general.
- It's cruel, but, what is more stupid. A society that hands out condoms
- to non-adults and then the community says we have to do more to help
- out single teenage parents? It doesn't make sense. The highly educated
- elite propose to grant adult responsibilities without consequences, ignoring
- personal responsibility. Current government bureaucracy and it's advocates
- have done more to deny life's reality, consequenses. Is it compassionate
- to foster self reliance on government?
- If condoms are distributed in school because "they're going to do it
- anyway", why don't we hand out guns? The same logic applies, IMO.

- The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports today that by the year 2000, eighty
- thousand children a year will be abandoned by young parents because their
- children have AIDS. The current rate of AIDS infected child abandonment
- is 20,0000.

- I agree. No fault divorce isn't working, it's too easy. Society
- again pays for it. Not all marriages are destined to reach the golden
- anniversary, neither should there be a 50% divorce rate. Now that we
- have no-fault, we have created a new class of poor single parent homes
- to be supported partially by a 30 percent federal tax rate, 5% state tax,
- a 13% social security tax (used to fudge the federal budget), a 5% sales
- tax (Mn equals 6.5%), a democratic proposed 50 cent gas tax and for
- a tremendous growing number of men (ncp) like me who pay 35% of their
- income after my income taxes are deducted.
