Summary
Patrick questions how double income households shifted from option to requirement, links taxation and property ownership to this loss of family leisure, and weighs both spiritual and practical responses. Listeners raise honest struggles: a puzzling job reference, the wording of the Our Father, and whether God ever truly leads us into temptation.
- Audio: Double-income household started as an option but quickly became an obligation – Rory Sutherland - https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/2039406825875841472?s=20 (00:24)

| 0:14.6 | It's the Patrick Madrid Show on Relevant Radio. |
| 0:18.6 | The creation of the double-income household was one of those changes which went from being an option to an obligation. |
| 0:25.6 | The principal beneficiaries were government, who had twice as many people to tax, okay? |
| 0:31.7 | Property owners, because now you needed two salaries to buy a house. |
| 0:36.1 | So the option of running a household on one |
| 0:39.0 | salary basically disappeared, okay? And the unit of the household, the family, lost 35 hours |
| 0:47.0 | of discretionary leisure every week with no commensurate increase in living standards because |
| 0:52.4 | the money got soaked up by property prices |
| 0:54.5 | and by taxation. |

| 1:04.5 | home while men go out to work or anything upset at that. |
| 1:07.3 | I'm simply saying that there are many, many things that start as an option, |

| 1:28.5 | to tax us into oblivion that's not i mean we got to pay taxes that's a fact of life but |
| 1:35.7 | i bet you don't like paying taxes any more than i do any more than anybody else does yeah but |
