the census bureau, and salary.com.

i found this in the local paper today, and granted, its in the dear abbey section, i found the information she gave was very interesting and pertained to a lot of questions in another thread.

"According to the Census Bureau figures for 2004 — which are the most recent — there are 36.7 million mothers of minor children in the United States. About one-third of them, 10.8 million, are stay-at-home moms.

According to an article penned by Al Neuharth, the founder of USA Today, in its May 11, 2006, edition, “Salary.com compensation experts estimate that stay-at-home moms work an average of 91.6 hours a week.” That's more than double the number of hours the average office worker puts in. He went on to say, “That should be worth $134,121 annually.”

He quoted the compensation analysts as figuring the lowest-paying parts of a mother's job are “housekeeper, laundry machine operator and janitor. Higher-paying categories include computer operator, facilities manager, psychologist and CEO.” With a 91.6-hour work week, 52 weeks a year, it works out to be $28.16 an hour."

"If I need a high powered lawyer I'd go with one that "looked the part"."


That's a foolish position to take.


Why?

Because the money to make that resource available to all has to come from somewhere.

The same can be said for lots of public expenditures undertaken for the common good, such as highways, the military, mortgage deductions,

I agree, and I think I have said that. I just dont understand why you keep saying that 1 income families have more money when that isn't always the case either.

3, 4 or even five kids can go in a station wagon.

I think that is just silly. A person can buy whatever they like to drive. I don't see any problem buying a car that someone likes and can pay for. My mother MANY MANY years ago bought a Toyota Celica convertible. That car is almost 13 years old and she STILL drives it. It was an expensive sports car when she bought it. Why does it matter?

You are right. 3 kids can also go into a sedan. Why does it matter what the man was driving?
