- As communists, our motto is:
-
- "To each according to their needs.
- From each according to their abilities."
-
- But what does this mean to the individual?
- It means that you get more rights (i.e. "stuff")
- by being more needy (i.e. a kid, a geezer, or a
- women in distress).
- It also means that you get more "duties" (i.e.
- debt, slavery) by being more capable (i.e. middle aged man).
-
- This becomes very interesting when a women is
- more capable (i.e. earns more) than her husband.
- I met this man who is being divorced by his wife.
- He makes $38,000 per year and she makes $80,000+.
- She is going to get primary custody but the child
- will sleep in each house 50% of the time -- on
- alternating weeks.
- When you look their incomes up on the Washington
- state child support tables SHE owes him child support
- even thou she has primary custody.
