Are you suggesting that each parent's entire income go first to the
child
support system, and, after child support and the surcharge are
deducted,
the
remainder be returned to the parents?

Yep. This is socialism at its finest. Give every thing you have to the
government and let the government decide how much each parent gets back
under a floating redistribution of wealth plan the government controls.
Of
course, we'll need bigger government to pull this off. The government
will
dictate how people raise their children and how much the government
expects
child expenditures to be. The government will control all aspects of
child
custody removing those decisions from the parents' discretion. The
parents
will be taxed in the form of a surcharge to pay for more government
involvement in their lives and we will suspend the application of the
14th
Ammendment equal protections for divorced or never married parents. The
new
social workers will need to be paid higher salaries because they will
move
from money changers to computer experts who will know how to constantly
monitor ever changing family and parenting conditions to make monthly
data
entries on each case file to reflect the changes. The social workers
will
be able to take direct corrective action bypassing the due process laws
and
the court system. To make this plan work we will need the government to
inspect the homes where children live and visit to ensure compliance.
Parents will accept this new socialist approach because it is for the
children.

Do you have a better idea? Does anyone?

You asked for "comments" and you got comments.

Now you insist "comments" be limited to "better ideas."

The better ideas a

Privatize marriage, establish pre-marital contracts defining marriage and
divorce issues, get the government out of family law, eliminate incentives
for out of wedlock births, eliminate incentives to breakup marriages by
mandating joint custody and shared parenting, treat all children regardless
of birth order equally, etc.
