The government is not trying to destroy the nuclear family. The government is not putting a gun to the heads of irresponsible parents, mostly men, saying you are now forced to no longer provide for your family and you are forced to father as many children as you want. Get real. The reality is that a large percentage of men do not accept their responsibilities as they once did. REALITY. Now stuff your reality and your other pompous attitude comments exactly where they belong.
There is truth in that by offering so many benefits to fatherless families - AFDC especially - this have given men and woman an excuse to be irresponsble; “I/you can always get welfare”.
Any charity or handouts should be given to the poor only by private charities, NOT the government. Private charities can choose who they give what to, have standards, and so on. And with the reduction in taxes once all those entitlements cease, people can afford more donations to their charities of their choice.
Wow... I wasn’t trying to be rude, or pompous. I apologize.
The government’s attack on the family:
1.) The attack on religion and religious rights.(religious faith is essential in keeping families strong and healthy)
2.) The promoting of abortion. (allowing children to have abortions without parental consent or knowledge of the procedure occurring)
3.) The school system and the systematic destruction of parental rights. (attacks on homeschooling etc.)
4.) The welfare system
This isn’t only about personal responsibility. Even families that stay together have a very hard time raising their children as the government is continually attacking their ability to be good parents.
I’m telling you, the government is actively destroying the nuclear family. And I’m not trying to be pompous. I just have strong feelings about this.
