Feminism and high taxes...recipe for extinction?

[thecentaur]

I hear older Western Europeans stating immigrants are needed to support their retirement and other gov. programs because of negative population growth, and I see changing demographics in the USA, Canada, etc. and it makes you think.

In these countries where a declining population is a concern you usually have a high percentage of females in the workforce, and you have a big, complex government that taxes it's people highly.

So it has to be asked. What are the costs of female equality and Gov. "security"? The women don't have the time or the urge to have large families, if even a family at all. Then if they do decide they want that, they and their mate are stifled by high taxes which make it hard to live the life you want and be reproductively fruitful.

The result is immigrant and/or irresponsible populations who don't think about taxation (they usually don't make enough to pay anyway) which don't have a liberated female population eventually overtaking the more "progressive" population who caused it to happen. IMO

A dismissive, obtuse statement

In 50-60 years this country will not even be around if changes are not made. That isn't gloom and doom, that is basic logic. Increasing debt, increasing govt. dependent people, a population heavily influenced by a destructive liberal media...and extinctions, changes, revolutions, and upheavals have happened constantly throughout history. To act like ho hum things will be the same in 50-60 years is pretty ignorant. Just because people have always complained about changes doesn't mean they haven't happened.

Nah, wrong. This country will be here in 50-60 years and people will be arguing over the same types of things. Abortion, taxes and the like. There will always be poor people, middle class and a few at the very top. That "liberal media" thing has been said in the day of Cronkite and we are still here. The country is better sometimes than other times but it will be fine.....I can remember as a kid people saying these types of things.

Ok good luck with your optimism. I think you're wrong, and the increasing amount and rate of debt along with for this country unprecedented demographic shifts are irrevocable.
