Taking care of one’s family is a good thing, but it’s hardly something to point to say how “good” you are.

Actually I think it is. If you "take care of your family" by hurting other people and committing crimes, you aren't really helping them at all.

How does doing jail time help your family?

To turn it around a little bit, can you name a good person who does not take care of his family?

I'd say in a couple of years we will have complete and total scientific evidence that the downfall of America was primarily caused by the death of Fatherhood. See our last two Democrat Presidents as a primary example.

Most criminals don't get caught. Many that do laugh all the way to the bank. They serve their time and go home; their assets aren't usually completely stripped from them, and they have assets hidden.

There are many, many absolute creeps (just look at Congress) who take care of their families very well.

If you or I claim to be good because we take care of our families - this only brings us up to the "goodness" level of Congress or our local friendly "connected" person.

They are esteemed members of society with very close relationships with their families.
