ESSAY<\/a>: Legions of feminists will ferociously type smash the patriarchy! at their Internet rallies, calling out for the end of the male supremacy in all spheres of life. Yet, few of them acknowledge the fact that one of these spheres, the government (the institution granting them rights), is entirely funded by male taxpayers. Economically, women cost more to the state than they benefit. The government is literally paying women to be alive. As such, strong independent women are only that way because the state is transferring money from men to them. Feminists are not seriously against being dependent on men, they are just against men having the full control over their money.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore a fiscal research report in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

THE REAL GENDER GAP: THE TAX GAP<\/p>\n

While the 77\u00a2 for a dollar wage gap has been under the spotlight for the past years, the 200\u00a2 for a dollar tax gap has, to my knowledge never been mentioned, at least not by our supreme feminist leaders Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau. A quick glimpse at the data reveals a massive difference in taxes paid by men and women.<\/p>\n

The first thing that comes to mind is that half of women might be at home raising kids. However, the workforce participation rate gap between men and women doesn\u2019t seem to exceed 10% in either age group. (see figure 4 in source)<\/p>\n

The second thing that may come to mind as a confounding factor is that women spend more for children in education and health. Nope. No support for that either. Men and women spend approximately the same amount in both education and health (see figure 10 and 11 of the source).<\/p>\n

IN NEARLY ALL AGE GROUPS, WOMEN RECEIVE MORE TAX THAN THEY GIVE<\/p>\n

With the exception of the age group between 45-59 (a 15 year span) years old, women cost more to the state than the tax they provide. In contrast, men generate more tax revenue than they cost between 23 and 65 (a 43 year span). In the brief period in which women generate more or as much tax money than they consume, men outscore them by at least 3 times. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
