I'll plug a thought here that might be inapropriate:
1) We as a 'we' (group of social groups?) don't support people who have children and need to educate them, expose them to the world, etc... etc...
2) Wages for underapreciated jobs (non-union working class, secretarial, minimum wage) are sufficient for a single healthy person to take care of themselves...
3) Being a mother/father adds at least another full time job to your life.
4) People who can't pay for things (Aikido or not) need to work harder...
Is something wrong with this picture?
