What is a man’s labor worth? Hard to tell; in fact, nobody
can tell. We leave it to the frigid law of supply and demand to
determine what recompense a man shall get for his work. His
goods come under similar evaluation.
If we are to avoid falling into complete socialism, with all
citizens wards of the state, we need to put some more life into
our capitalistic approach and concepts. First of all, we need to
provide some kind of work for every one. Goodness knows we
have more than enough work clamoring for us to do, such as
providing housing, and all kinds of waste treatment.
Some folks are only marginally employable, and it will cost
more to put them on a job than we may at first think
justifiable. Nevertheless, we can make it not only fruitful, but
even profitable to hire them. (See 38 -290, Grassroots Hearings
on Economic Problems, pp. 574-576; this is available from
your Congressman).
A minimum wage should enable a man reasonably to
support a wife and two children. The mother is needed in the
home to bring up her pre-school offspring. This training is
important, and too often sublet to substitutes, who just do not
carry the authority to start a child on the road of life as well as
the mother should.
More than one child to a parent in a lifetime is an invitation
tq automatic poverty. Children in the last stages of their
education consume far more than mortal parents can be asked
to provide for more than one child per parent. In college a
teenager can consume as much as he already has in his younger
lifetime. The cost doubles the total load on the parents.
Doubling for two can be envisioned, but for six kids, or ten?
Catastrophe!
This higher education is mandatory, if the child is to
compete in the modern world and to gather its emoluments.
We no longer permit the exploitation of children, as we did in
the days of large families on the farm.
But our computer has been running fifty years behind in
evaluating the need for children to maintain the race. We often
find couples burdened with numerous children, and they
cannot put them back where they came from. God has given
them one-way tickets, return trip not valid until they have
worked out His mileage.
Such parents must skimp and scrimp. The children suffer
most. Food often is inadequate. Another item, often
overlooked, is their lack of privacy, necessary to study, to do
homework, to meditate, to think, to develop personality. All
these are required for the child to grow up to compete, with a
well rounded mental and physical equipment.
For, as Eric Hoffer puts it, this civilization is addicted to
work, with enough play to make work doubly satisfactory.
Life in crowded housing is restricted to a more socializing
scale. Well, that may have its points, but we grow less and less
happy with it. The dissatisfaction is the price we pay for the
lack of several hours a day in private study.
