Two-Earner Family

Re “Debunking the Two-Earner Family Myth,” Commentary, Jan. 24: What is Robert J. Samuelson’s agenda? Someone who “knows” about economic issues rather than one who just “writes” about them would not leave out the real reason for the two-earner family. The real reason is taxes. Look up the percent of income paid in taxes by a family earning the median income in the ‘50s, compared with now. I’m sure that the data will be far too inconvenient to Samuelson’s agenda.
