Michelle Duggar Pregnant: How Long Until The Duggars Take Over The World?

The Duggar family of TLC fame just announced that they are expecting their 19th child. Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar currently have 18 children ranging from 0 to 21 years old and a grandchild on the way, making it pretty clear that their kids intend to follow in their pregnancy footsteps.

The Duggars live in northwest Arkansas and can be seen on TLC's hit "17 Kids and Counting" "18 Kids and Counting" "19 Kids and Counting." Assuming they make it to 20 kids and stop, and assuming each of their kids have the same amount of children (which are both big 'ifs') how long until those with Duggar blood take over America?

After the next generation of Duggars breeds at this rate, there will be 400 members of the clan (not counting the husbands and wives that married in). The third generation will have 8,000 members, the fourth will have 160,000, and the fifth will have 3.2 million...more than five times the population of Vermont. This would mean...

• One in every hundred people in America would be a Duggar.
• There would be more Duggars than Latvians.
• There would almost be enough Duggars to have one in every square mile of America.
• If all the Duggars earned $30,000 annually, they would collect $96 billion a year before taxes, enough to bailout AIG and have enough left to buy Marvel Comics three times over.
• If all the Duggars were armed there would be more than enough of them to defeat the North Korean and Russian armies combined.
• There would be more Duggars than Muslims in America.
• There would be more Duggars than residents of America's 21 least populous states.

Of course it would take the Duggar family at least 100-200 years to breed this much, and the number of Muslims, Iowans, and Americans will also grow. These statistics require an amazing amount of hypotheticals, they are just meant to give you an idea of how fast a family can expand when they start having kids young and keep going!

I start out by saying, on the Duggars day out from their free home. The Girls must walk ahead of the boys to make sure there is no women dress improper. If there are, the girls send out a code for the boys to hold their head downs until those women is out of sight. Well if this is true, who warn and send codes to the girls if there are boys dress improper, while they are watching out for the improper girls? Try to figure that one out why don't you? LOL

Can you imagine if everyone in America claimed their home as a church? Where will the money for schools, pot holes, bridge's and things of that nature come from? The Duggars had all those children's and couldn't afford to pay for their large home without getting over some how to make it work. Jimbob being in Congress found a loop hole in the system to avoid him from paying his American dues on the land and home that they all live in.

[MsSarcia]

Guess whose flipping the bills for that if not the Duggars? Someone has to pay the Duggars share to live free as they claimed their home as a church. And people wonder why they are debt free? They claimed to own several businesses that they are renting out. One of them being a cell phone tower. They own a use car lot which Jimbob brought for Josh the oldest married son. Yet in the beginning, when first starting out, they accepted help in building their home, charitable donations, clothes, funds and other materialistic things such as 4 washers and dryers, new furniture’s for their home, commercial kitchens etc. The list is just enlist. From generous concern people, network and sponsors. Yet they never gave anything back to the American people in return. If I didn't have to pay taxes and write my home off as a church-able. Jimbob even found a way to beat the medical and dental insurance paying half the cost for full benefits. And it’s all legal, because no one ever got around in fixing a broken law. However, I believe they are ripping off the Gov. and Tax payers in their little schemes. I too would be debt free and so would everyone else if we played by the Duggars rule. They are cheating! LOL Now they are bouncing off TLC and in onto other networks, talk shows, telling the world that God gave them all those children's and they are a blessing from God.

[MsSarcia]

Sorry Duggars, you seem like a nice family, though looks could be deceiving, since we don't know what you all lives are life off camera and you don't live around any neighbors. And you all are never asked different questions, always the same repeated questions asked a 100 times from every talk show. But I can tell you that y’all need to stop blaming God for your 19 mistakes. God did not give you anything, having unprotected sex gave you those children's. Seriously, do they expect us to believe God gave them all these children's? To believe that, would mean God also give those who have STD, VD, AIDS, HIV etc. everything but having a baby from having unprotected sex too. Please don't blame your stupidity on God. It's totally not fair! Especially when your kids are nothing more then robotic slaves to their parents. Michelle's been cut open, and has pushed out all these children's and rarely do we see her raising them. After breast feeding is over and done with, they are pushed off on older siblings to care for. While Michelle and Jimbob take to their bedroom to make more. The parents call their kids helping out "The buddy system".

[MsSarcia]

Those kids have no social life or any freedom of any kind. They don't go out unless they travel in packs. And they have no friends other then the TV camera crew and cousin Amy. They've been brainwashed and I'm sure they are use to their way of living by now. But God help them if they ever get from under their mom and dad skin. Josh look totally lost in his video with Anna. (food shopping, car lot) that’s his whole life. Where’s his friends? Oh that’s right, he has THE BATES. I can't help but noticed once out of parents lock and key. Jessa started acting normal around cousin Amy. She lied, blamed what she did on Amy and became shock when she got caught throwing bagels at the camera crew that was meant to feed animals. That's because they don't get out an do things that normal teens and middle age teens do. Michelle goes on to say, we take our kids to the school yards to play when school is out or closed. You do what? I thought... Again, I don't have anything against the Duggars or their way of living, however screwed up I may think it is. There is some weird stuff going on and I just think the power that be need to be watching out for these children's. I'm kind of scare for them... especially the girls.

Praise God! I hope and pray one of my daughters marry a man like the Duggars!!

Groucho: Why do you have so many children?
Female Contestant: Well, I love my husband very much.
Groucho: Hey, I enjoy a good cigar, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.

According to the "Quiverfull" movement my uterus has a divine purpose.

I think the TLC channel should stop these kinds of shows. There are just too many people in the world. The population and the planet are suffering because of it. If people want large families they should adopt. There are so many needy children in the world. I'd like to see a show about a family that adopts disabled and needy kids. The Trial and Tribulations of the ____?_____ Family. Now that would be a learning show.

The Learning Channel is misnamed. I'd like to actually expose my children and grandchildren to some actual learning. I used to watch this channel but I don't anymore because of shows like this. There's very little content of any meaning anymore. I don't mind some reality shows, but these screwloose people are not my idea of a learning reality show.

[Evita]

I agree with you 100% because this is not learning. This show like Jon and Kate plus 8 are not the kinds of shows one would think is a show you would learn anything from. and they are not entertainment at all.

[YoungSloshee]

Though children should never be seen as a financial strain or burden on parents or guardians, asking your eldest children to help raise the younger ones seems selfish, especially when the reason you ask for help is because there are too many children for two people to realistically raise.

Besides the fact that each child is a new legacy of carbon footprints (and 19? Hoo, boy), this family has increased in size under the rationale of faith-based fundamentalism, called the Quiverfull Movement. Check out the wiki page for the movement, you're sure to learn a lot about the motivation of families like the Duggars.

[shockwave11]

Agree. Especially selfish not having regard for conserving the planet and impacting everybody else along this insanity. The carbon footprint legacy implications are huge. I can't believe people like this exist.

Just needed to vent.

The duggers should thank their neighbors for paying property taxes that support their community with police and fire protection. They have CLAIMED themselves to be a church property. Oh how such small "C" christians of compassion and charity when it stays at home.
.

[getsit]

Are you telling me they don't pay property taxes?! Are you kidding?

Maybe I should start a church group and have weekly meetings. Designate my dining room as a church.

[TheBlackCat]

Yup, that is true. They declared their family home a church and now are non taxable.

[CorkiDeCat]

All this hatered for a family with 19 kids.. Sterilize them? You all must be longing to live in Germany during the 30's and 40's. And saying that they're destroying our planet with pollution.­. Ranks right up there with the best of Sarah Palins ramblings.­.

[kilgore trout]

Whew! I was worried there that no-one would bring up Nazi Germany...

[dragonfly2x]

Those folks need to be sterlized

[chickenNgravy]

I would expect most if not all of the Duggar kids will grow to be productive, non-criminal citizens of the US. How about we just exterminate an equal number of your non-productive friends and it will be a better world.

[getsit]

These rightwing white christian people with large families-don't you think it might be because they are worried the country will be 'OVER RUN" by minorities. Looks suspicious to me.

[dragonfly2x]

eeeewww, angry much?

[Poorsarah]

Demographic information; years ago, families bore large families because many more families were farm families. These large families all pitched in to help run the family farms. Today, with much more effecient farm machinery, larger families are not needed. Modern farm families are not large like they used to be. Demographically, it does not make any sense for the Duggars to have this large of a family; except to pull off a cult scam to evade taxes. Private homes are not churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, etc. Private homes are private homes and are taxable under law.

[kilgore trout]

Nice icon. "One Million BC" is so much fun. I especially love Ray Harryhauser's stop-motion giant turtle. Also, the fur bikini. A classic.

[naschkatze]

That's almost a kid a year. Her uterus must be made of hard rubber.

[Poorsarah]

If this is a scam/cult that the hubby and wife are trying to pull off; shouldn't they be investigated for tax fraud/evasion? How can they claim their house is a "church"? If this is true, then they are committing tax evasion/fraud. Gee, that gives me an idea; every US citizen claim to be a Christian and then declare their homes to be a "church." Of course, I am being sarcastic; but it is to make a valid point. I can understand that real churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc. receive tax exemptions. Peoples' homes do not count for this.

[TheBlackCat]

My big question is how they get out of paying taxes. I don't really understand. It's not as if this family operates an actual church which serves the community. They just teach their kids religion in their home. I mean, don't most people do this? How does that make your home a church just because you teach your children about your religion inside of it? What are the IRS standards for what constitutes a church? Anyone here more familiar with tax laws?

[TheBlackCat]

or rather I should say I don't *think* he actually serves as a miniter in the community. I could be wrong about that. I have seen the show a few times and I've never seen him do any ministering. The only thing I've seen is that he preaches to his kids, and every once in awhile another like minded family will come and visit and he'll preach to them to. Is that really all it takes to be declared a church? Talk about religion, and occasionally have people over to talk about religion with?

If that's all it takes (as opposed to having an actual church which serves the community and provides services and outreach), then couldn't every home which hosts a prayer group just declare themselves a church?
