[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women in the workplace is a way for the government to tax the same household twice. It also drove wages down when more women entered the workforce although that may have to do with sexism. When women started going to college in higher numbers than men, suddenly having a bachelors didn’t mean a great salary. [/quote] Wages stagnated because the link between productivity and compensation was severed in the 1970s, so that economic gains flowed to corporate profits and top earners, not workers. Automation and globalization also contributed. It has nothing to do with women diluting the workforce. “Taxing the same household twice” is bad math. Wages get taxed no matter who makes them. In fact, with the same HHI divided between two incomes in lower tax brackets vs. one income in a higher bracket, a household would pay less.[/quote] Yes, this. [/quote]
