  In Minnesota, family court referees and or judges are prohibited by
LAW to deviate by more than 10% from the guidelines. The practice in 
Mn courts is that he cannot voluntarily reduce his income. Bruce, 
you should ask around. You are living in the most anti-male state
in the Union. I got out of their while my dick was still attatched.
My wallet is still being passed around  

 Unfortunately what this means is that a man (NCP 90+% of the time) 
can NEVER afford to lose ground, either by receiving a pay cut or a
job loss. For if he should LOSE income involuntarily, (quite honestly,
the courts don't care if it is voluntary or otherwise, the consequenses
are the same) the child support will continue to come out of his check
at the same rate, thus leaving him with an already smaller percentage of 
personal income. If the percentage of child support can be reduced, 
his OBLIGATION does not change. The county continues to accrue unpaid
child support obligations in which he falls into arrears. At the 1000
mark, he gets reported to Financial Agencies like any bad debt. Interest
is generally applied on the unpaid child support. He may find himself
paying off the debt for many years.

 I think we either rethink this line of reasoning and modify the law OR, 

Jail all these welfare queens for not payin' us taxpayers back. 
We should begin taxing single teenage mothers at a higher rate because
they are a higher drain on our government.

We should fine women who DO use contraceptives but end up pregnant anyway.

We should take additional income out of women's wages to pay for the 
leave of absences they DEMAND. 

We should demand higher insurance premiums for the higher costs women
ring up.  

Follow the logic, feministas?
