Article here. Excerpt:

'Hillary supporters do not despair: You do have a woman on the Obama ticket and her name is Joseph “Jo” Biden. When Obama talks about wealth distribution, he seldom, if ever, mentions any related programs by name. But you can bet your last dollar – and you won’t have much else left by then – that Jo Biden is percolating plans for a national “man tax.”

Legislating a “man tax” (reparations of sorts) will be done under the noble guise of compensating women to the benefit of all society and, of course, especially children. The Financial Times of London last year allowed two university economics professors to write anonymously in promoting a “man tax.” The commentary in part stated, “Men’s labour supply is more rigid, so an increase in taxes does not reduce their labour supply by much, if at all. … A higher take-home salary for women created by our proposal would allow them to buy more childcare at market prices and, since childcare facilities employ mostly women, they would also benefit on their costs.”

“Men’s labour supply is more rigid, so an increase in taxes does not reduce their labour supply by much, if at all."

Plain English Translation:

Men are looked down upon by society if they don't earn enough money for their significant other to spend on herself and her children.

In many cases, such as court ordered child support, and alimony; they are actually forced by the government to work in order to earn a pre-specified amount of money to be transferred to their ex-wife/girlfriend/baby momma. With the threat of jail time, and a felony record if they do not comply.

Therefore if the government reduces the amount of a mans take home pay, it will not result in a large reduction of hours worked. Due to the threat of: social castration or imprisonment, as well as a criminal record that follows you around for the rest of your life, and sabotages you're future employment prospects.

A higher take-home salary for women created by our proposal would allow them to buy more childcare at market prices...

Here's a novel idea: If you can't afford to support your children, THEN DON'T HAVE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, OR ADOPT THEM TO SOMEONE WHO CAN!

Stop babying women and being afraid to fight against them. Stop trying to play the nice guy (in order to avoid being called names) and get things done.
