Bottom line... the increase in cyclical poverty in the US is not due to unfairness or inequality. It's due to the abandonment of marriage as an institution. Thoughts?

I understand they somewhat go hand in hand, but if you are going to make a "bottom line" type statement like this, I would put education there before marriage. If you are in an unmarried household where the single parent still stresses the importance of education, I like your chances better than a child coming from a married household where neither parent GAF about education.
