  Just how much does he make and how much charity does the family get.  Taking care of 21 people isn't cheap.  And the kids, why put the load on them to take care of their siblings.  I think you ask to much of them.  But, I suppose you did it and made your kids do it.  I suppose they have the right to have as many children as they want.

Just like Octuplet Mom who had 8 babies at one time on top of 6 other of her kids and she is a single mother:doh:

  Some where there is a time to use common sense.  Common sense you don't seem to have.  :jc:
Now that is a classic example of someone who is using the system and is single.  Apples to oranges. 

You're all about a woman doing as she pleases with her body until it goes against your beliefs then you think you have a right to dictate.  If she had chosen to abort that many pregnancies you would be just fine with it.  Go figure.... :rolleyes:

Information on several websites state that Mr. and Mrs. Dugger are both licensed real estate agents and manage/own commercial properties. They built their 7000 sq ft. house debt free. I read an article about them several years ago and in it they said they were married several years (5 I think) before they had children and were debt free at the time and remain that way. That would have been 15 or more years before the tv show.

Given the current state of the economy and business environment in this country, I can't imagine that their business is doing very well at all. Property values are tanking nationwide, and all one really has to do is drive through the business district of whatever city you live in, and see the high number of commercial properties standing vacant, to understand that anyone in the commercial end of real estate, or real estate in general, is facing or enduring some pretty hard times right now.

And depending upon what state they live in, even if they own the property they occupy outright, unless their income stream can support the high property tax rates they risk being thrown out of their own homes over past due taxes. (Hence, we never really "own" the property / homes we possess.)

Now granted, with 19 tax deductions whatever their income stream is they likely pay little to no taxes on that income. . .

I personally know some real estate brokers who are working at Walmart because they cannot make it. They've had to let the majority of their staff go because business is so bad. . .

Mr. and Mrs. Dugger are the only ones who truly know their financial situation. I would guess that they have made a fair amount of money from the tv show in addition to their business. They seem to be conservative in their spending so they may be much better off than you think. The oldest son is married and lives with his wife and children, he manages or owns a used car lot. At any rate, I doubt if any of them will become dependent on welfare anytime soon.

Was anyone prepared for things to be like they are now?  The point is they had enough forethought to be debt free when things turned bad so aren't as likely to go under as someone who has a huge mortgage, credit card debt out the a$$, and was living beyond their means.

for what it is worth, I have not seen anywhere, one ounce of proof of any wrongdoings or any laws being broke by the Duggars.  Those kids all appear to be very happy and loved.
move on.

And there you have it...but they do use resources paid for with the taxes of others, ergo, are a burden on society.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I could make the same argument for maggots but I still don't like them.

  Like I said, you don't have any common sense of the ability to convey any common sense to anyone else or condition of anything.  Like I have said in the past, you are a very stupid person.  What is so bad is, you get to vote.  :groan:

Anything that against something they agree with is a wrong doing to be ridiculed and mocked.  Must be a course in college or something.  Mock and ridicule 101.  Ex aced the course and Troll read the book.  Too bad neither one made it through the common sense or cognitive reasoning course.

LOL?  And you delude yourself that you're proficient at either?  So wise and yet such a dismal failure in life; what's up with that?

Hum, you're the one with all the put downs and you call me the failure?  Seems like you're the one with the inferiority complex here.  Putting others down like you do only shows your need to feel good about yourself and you do that by belittling others.

You might want to read back through some of your own posts.  Just sayin'...
