Has it ever occurred to the right wing that to improve birth rates, it might help if one person could support a family?

The federal minimum wage is about half what it should be.

No, they don’t seem to think long term or strategic about anything like that, much less about any kind of family planning. These are the as*holes that care a lot about a strangers unborn child, and want to force a woman who can’t afford a baby, to not get an abortion, but as soon as the baby is here, screw that woman for not working hard enough at her shitty minimum wage job, and let’s give her no help with medical bills, let’s cut any and all social programs she might have benefited from, and while we’re at it, kick her while she’s down by making a decrease in any funding for WIC because who cares if she can eat, all because the performative and punitive value of these things far out weigh even the hint of what these people erroneously call socialism, their ultimate unfounded boogeyman.
It’s absurd, for sure.

@Tamera952 I second.

The Reich Wing are "believers". And they are generally the low IQ people in society. They have been conditioned from birth to blame everyone and everything but the people who are actually making their lives a living hell, the 1%. The dogma and propaganda has been carefully engineered and delivered for decades.

• The Reich Wing wail about immigration and blame government but it's the 1% who want cheap labor that keep our borders open to illegal immigration.
• The Reich Wing Whities whine about being "bred out of dominance" in the USA. But they never connect the dots to the 1% who have driven them into a life of economic slavery that makes every new generation less and less able to get married, own a home, and have a family.

It's impossible to have any sympathy for Reich Wing morons at this point.

Oh no, no, no, no, of course not. They would just scream that that would be "communism" As if they actually had any idea what communism really is.

In President Harry's Truman's remarks in Syracuse, New York on October 10, 1952, he said this:

"Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called farm price supports.

Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan "Down With Socialism" on the banner of his "great crusade," that is really not what he means at all.

What he really means is "Down with Progress--down with Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal," and "down with Harry Truman's fair Deal." That's all he means."

Why would you want to improve peoples live when you instead can take peoples rights away and force them to do the same all in the name of freedom.

[goaded]

Why, indeed. It's very important that there should be a trillionaire in the next few years. Much more important than building things that actually make people's lives better.

It has occured to them that those folks are just lazy and entitled without really trying to get to really understand why someone might not be able to support a family financially. They tend to, not all, oversimplify and generalize entire populations of people in a monolithic fashion.
