That "Child Support" is Really
Child Extortion |
|
The Cost
of Raising Children (according to
recent U.S. Government figures)
A middle-income family with a child
born in the year 2000 will spend about
$165,630 to raise that child for 17
years. Expenditures
on Children by Families: 2000 Annual
Report (PDF) is released by the
USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and
Promotion. The report accounts for
differences in raising a child, such
as family income and location. The
average cost of raising a child born
in 1960 was $25,230 for 17 years.
So fair child support (given equal rights
requirement of the constitution) would
be 50% of this amount or $82,815 for
a single child, but look at what men
(95% of the time) are forced to pay
under threat of going to jail: |

Why
do the state governments do this?Because
of kickbacks from the federal
government thatencourage states
to raisechild support payments
which fund courts.Good intention
= BAD result |

not include the 10% bumps that

or the HUGE tax benefits custodial

So anyone earning
about $40,000 per year pays a fair
amount if they have two children?
Not really because this MAN is paying
100% of the actual cost, instead of
sharing it with the ex-wife.
So they are paying DOUBLE what
they should. Anyone earning
$100,00 per year pays more than FIVE
TIMES the actual cost of raising the
average child, even assuming there
are TWO children you are paying 250%
of this cost (with the wife paying
nothing!).
Therefore the actual extortion amount
for someone earning $100,000 per year
is $492,500 more than they should
be paying. THIS IS A RACKET for the
state and the judicial system (who
both get federal kickbacks). It also
helps lawyers earn big fees by making
it worth the legal battle. It is simply
a system optimized to rape men going
through divorce for the benefit of
everyone else. Of course anyone
with higher earnings is being raped
even worse to support their wife with
a second layer of alimony. |

Child support
would be that amount of money required
to raise the child, that takes into
account the difference in time the
child spends with the non-custodial
parent. In other words if the non-custodial
parent has the child 20% of the time,
versus 80% for the custodial it should
probably be assumed that the starting
point should actually be the "gap"
of 60% which must be funded by the
non-custodial parent, NOT 100% of
the cost of raising a child. So the
above figures are actually VERY generous
because the cost should be discounted
by that percentage of time. |
