I can live with that statement,

Cant stand the single mother with 5 kids stuff though. White or black.

I know this will sound hard to believe, the THREE gals when i was younger asked me to have a kid with them while we were dating.

Why would i do that?

Why do THEY do that. Not once. Not twice. But three, four or five times.

That’s got to stop being rewarded.

I dont know what answer.

I dont know how you give help to married couples and not to unmarried people with kids.

I wish i had the answers. I’m not that smart.

I don't know how we stop the cultural decay either. There are some things that we can do.

• Remove any remaining marriage penalties and put in marriage incentives.
• Pass the presumption of equal custody laws in all 50 states and reduce the financial incentive to divorce.
• Reinstate charitable giving as a stand alone tax deduction.
• Get the economy going so that there are jobs for those that do want to work.
• Run interventions on those that don't.
• As Trump says, they need "spirit" and you build that through "cheerleading".

Charity comes from those by CHOICE. What we have here is involuntarily/indentured servitude.

Easy fix: People do what’s in their best financial interest. When they know the gravy train is STOPPED; the BS as you posted WILL stop.

Else, you lock their (both ‘mom’ AND ‘dad’ up for negligence) and lower the 2x BS for adoption/fostering.

Very hard to believe.
