I agree with MtnClimber. 73% of black children have no father present in the home. Part of this problem is because welfare payments are higher when the father is NOT present. How about this: reduce welfare and other transfer payments (rent subsidies, SNAP, etc.) by 20% when the father is NOT present. Do you think black mothers are going to give up $5000-$10000 a year to not have him help raise the kids? It’s easy to be a father, being a parent isn’t. It’s time for black men to step up and take responsibility for their children.
Black women need to stop rutting like feral animals with any thug that comes along.
I always thought the answer was pretty simple. The first illegitimate child could be a mistake, but after that it really isn’t, so limit the payments to one child. A second might get a 50% benefit if the mother opts for sterilization. I know this seems harsh, but forcing working people to pay for other people’s children isn’t right. Additional payments from charities could soften things a bit, but the charities would be ineligible for any kind of government participation. Subsidizing poor and irresponsible behavior is just stupid.
It gets worse: the welfare payments are higher still when the baby-mama has multiple babies with multiple sperm donors.
