I know it is a stupid example, but did you ever see the “childhood” scenes in the Movie “Ray”? Nobody lost their kids even though they were dirt poor. The planet is designed to support life. If government would get out of the way, things would actually work pretty well.
No I have never heard of it.
The first thing runaway Welfare did was destroy the black family. Many may have been poor, but they had family. Now they grow up in the projects, raised by grandma. There is no grandpa, no pa, and mom may be workin’ the corner to support her drug habit and livin’ somewhere else.
