This one is even more important. Get writing or Ms. Boxer and Ms. Feinstein will get this legislation passed.
Here is what I wrote:
Regarding SB127/HB262:
I am totally opposed to the idea of allowing the IRS to double tax non-custodial parents who get behind in their child support payments:
1) The money was not "earned" and therefore cannot be taxed; how can the government "create" earnings where there are none?
2) Most non-custodial parents are already giving more than half of their income to the custodial parent (in real dollars meaning before taxes are taken out);
3) Non-custodial parents are already being penalized by not being allowed to see their children or participate in the parenting of their children;
4) These bills fly in the face of the President's Fatherhood Initiative by making it even MORE difficult for fathers (75% of the time the non-custodial parent) to stay close to and involved with raising their children;
5) This proposed legislation is another "bright" idea of the feminist movement -- NOW -- the most destructive organization on the face of the earth when it comes to personal liberties and keeping families in tact; they won't be happy until they have half the population in jail;
6) Feminism has taken a bad turn (gone sour) and most of us (the original feminists of the sixties and seventies) disown the radicals we see these days -- these women don't want equality -- they want dominance;
7) Any legislator that votes for these absurd bills will be written off as viable candidates in the future by those of us who are watching; our numbers are legion; we are in contact across the nation;
9) The women's movement (as it was intended)is over; women like myself are alligning ourselves with our husbands, fathers, sons, brothers and male friends because we have sympathy for their plight;
10)If you don't believe that the public is sick of the feminists, take a look at New Hampshire, where the three most powerful women in the state were all defeated last election -- Governor Shaheen being one of them.
I'm a woman, a career woman, a mother, a grandmother, one of the first women to break through the ranks in the automotive industry back in the sixties. I called myself a feminist then -- but shun the title now. It's embarrassing. When I saw Ms. Shaheen (as she is now called) aligning herself with the feminists, I did everything in my power to get the word out and help defeat her in the last election.
While they disgust me, I can at least understand why women might be angry and vindictive toward men -- enough so to try to get this legislation passed.
What I don't understand is why men are turning on men.
