Or poor choices by women to breed with dumb/absent men?

The statistics are all there about the absolute degeneracy that is spawned from single motherhood. Even minorities cannot compare to the negative outcomes of a child raised by a single mom.

I also think Molyneux (video link posted below) is right when he says that most single moms are low IQ due in part to their lack of impulse control which means this country is being pumped full of low IQ offspring constantly at a far greater rate than high IQ offspring.

Stefan Molyneux on single moms


This is why sex before marriage was frowned upon. Seems theres a very good non-religious reason sex before marriage should be considered taboo. Everyone ends up paying for the mistake that results. Whether through taxation in the form of welfare, or paying more into a justice system to handle all of the bad behaviors unchecked or learned under the tutelage of a single mother.

Taxes or not, no amount of money can make up for the lack of a father figure. That's the heart of this. People are throwing resources at a problem that cant be solved by government programs.

The left wants maternal leave and shite? Why? Thought you wanted women to work like men?

If there is a hint of rationality and truth to it, then of course it's racist.

Exactly.

Most of what our government does is reward failure and punish success, so it should be no surprise sloth and irresponsibility are rampant.

You know what would piss you off even more? She would get A LOT more money if she weren't married, hence why so few young mothers are.

I'll ask you what was the percentage of single Moms prior to the Great Society programs of LBJ?
If you reward irresponsible behavior we know it will increase.

I think he's saying overall percentage-wise. The rest of the post highly suggests that.

I.e. - "what percentage of welfare goes to single moms?"

Genius.

More like walk away Dads. Women will look for help if the guy is not doing his part. Then they expect the fed to be a nanny after that....

You will always get more of what you subsidize and less of what you tax.

Why do you guys give the other half of the equation a pass?


Doesn't bother me a bit to castigate some dumbass whose moment of pleasure leads to a generation of consequences - then probably yet another generation of consequences.

Come on, you can't tell me that thoughts like "Well if you are on public assistance, DNA testing ought to be mandatory for a child being supported by the government. If a cross-check comes up indicating the father, then the father is auto-dunned to compensate for the cost of this child to the taxpayer."

What the Government has created is a “Trophy” program. It has become a “Ghetto Golden Ticket” to have numerous kids. Not only are men and women having kids outside of marriage or a family structure, Men actually seek out women with kids because it means “$$$”.

none of it. The blame falls squarely on those who passed the 19th Amendment

The question you should have asked is "How many single moms can be blamed on the welfare state?" Daniel Patrick Moynihan identified that problem in the mid-1960's at the "welfare-state's" infancy.

A few folks have already touched on this, it's the government's fault for rewarding irresponsibility.
Since the democrats installed their "great society" the percentage of two parent households has fallen drastically. Before then the percentage for white people was in the 90's and black people were right at 90.

Now it is less than 40% for the black community and it is probably less than 60% or so for whites.

It's safe to say yet again progressive ideology has ruined something, in this case the family unit for Americans. There is no greater danger to our republic than the enemy we have within, the progressive left.

I maintain this threat should be eliminated. By any means necessary
