Some time back I wrote to Lew about the current state of slavery in Britain. Here is another decree from the Master: The wife must pick the cotton.

British families with one bread-winner pay highest tax in developed world of 73 PERCENT .

Seeing how the State punishes married parents if one does not work, and rewards mothers who do not marry with plenty of welfare, it should come as no surprise that single parent families are increasingly the majority.

(The U.S. incidentally is only 7th on the list, for now).
