Default CSA victims 'pushed to point of no return'

I would imagine that it's nothing but the current political climate of
corporate fascism attacking socialist countries under the guise of
going after terrorism.

Socialistic feminism is being dismantled all right, but it's being
dismantled by corporate feminism, and the women's movement is still
very safe, powerful, and advocated by the Right. This isn't genuine
advocacy for men.

There must be something in the water at the moment, as there
are articles popping up everywhere that portray the CSA
Nazi's in a very bad light indeed.

Could this be the beginning of the end for feminism, and
one of it's leading weapons in their war against men?

CSA victims 'pushed to point of no return'
By John Stapleton
June 28, 2003

JACK, a senior public servant, slashed his wrists after receiving 36 letters from
the Child Support Agency in one day.

"Their system is so maladministered they can't mail letters regularly," he says.

"I am being pushed against the wall emotionally, financially and in every other way.
The best analysis: you get stuck in a dark tunnel, you keep walking down the tunnel,
there is no light at the end, so why keep walking?"

The male suicide rate in a single year is now four times that of the total number
killed in the Vietnam conflict. Fathers groups around the country claim at least
three clients of the CSA commit suicide every day. Jack was almost one of them.

Two years ago he says he told the CSA by phone he was being driven to the wall.

"I was losing control, I was thinking of chucking it all in and said I might as well
go the whole hog," he said. "I made it very clear to them that I was contemplating
suicide."

Jack was provided with no professional counselling or sympathy and to his knowledge
the police were not informed.

He hands over 27 per cent of his pay in child support payments. He also has to
support his second family, which includes two teenagers.

He says the CSA overcharges him by deeming his income to be more than it is and by
constant miscalculations.

"You ring up the CSA and tell them your situation," he says. "They don't care. Their
attitude is, pay up or die.

"I have stopped at least five guys from suiciding just talking to them over the
phone, letting them know that they are not the only one."

For many men "you come home, you've got the photos on the wall and the bills on the
fridge and that is your life".

The best-known CSA suicide victim was Canberra man Warren Gilbert. The 28-year-old
with three young children was found dead in a car clutching a letter from the CSA.
He was losing more than 80 per cent of his gross pay in tax and child support. The
coroner indicated there was a clear link between the CSA and the man's death.

Corporate Feminism ? hmmm... So female owners of corps want to help out their
male workers by freeing them of the socialist CSA parasites, so that the male
workers will be motivated to work harder and earn more, when they can actually
keep what they earn as opposed to having a larger parasitic bite taken ?
