The whole plan of LBJ's "Great Society" was to remove the father from the home, establish an entire class of people dependent upon government handouts, raise the crime rates to create a police state, and grow government to deal with the problem.

A new academic study is suggesting the presence of two parents in a household may play a crucial role in ensuring safer communities.
Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley, who recently wrote about this topic, argued on "Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy" that the biggest root of crime is fatherlessness.
Riley referenced the book "The Two-Parent Privilege" by economist Melissa Kearney in emphasizing the significant impact of family structure on social inequality and the lack of discussion on this issue within academia and in this country.
Gowdy pointed to Riley's recent column and referenced his argument that "the best way to avoid poverty, is to finish high school, get a job, and wait until you're married to have children."

We can thank LBJ for that. Clinton was the only president that tried to fix it but it didn't last.
But American’s have always known that.
Thanks Tards! Next up we will have a double blind study proving that not drinking mercury is good for you!

Welfare causes fatherlessness causes crime.
The real “root cause” is exactly WELFARE.
Fatherless-ness is a Democrat Party domestic policy, that “empowers women.”
Follow the money, on that one.
LBJ allegedly told two governors regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1964. “I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for 200 years.”
Some progressives—notably the “fact checking” site Snopes—have questioned this quotation, which appears in Ronald Kessler’s Inside the White House but not in any other source. Kessler attributes it to Air Force One steward Robert MacMillan, who claims to have heard LBJ say this.

When I was a young lad, I lived in rural NC and played with boys and girls, both white and black. I distinctly remembering admiring the black kids’ fathers. They were strong heads of their families.
In the 2nd grade (1959) my dad was stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We lived in Cuba for 6 years.
Then we were stationed in Norfolk in 1965. The nation had changed. The strong fathers of the black families were MIA.
The whole plan of LBJ's "Great Society" was to remove the father from the home, establish an entire class of people dependent upon government handouts, raise the crime rates to create a police state, and grow government to deal with the problem.
Or in jail...well no, that would put is right where we are now.

The problem is, and I don’t know any way to fix it, is that the welfare is intended for the child, who had/has no say in his parents staying together. Of course it’s mom who gets the money in her EBT card, not the kid, and she gets to decide how it’s spent.
If there is no welfare, there will be starving kids. As it is, there are hungry kids in spite of Food Stamps, WIC, food banks, free school lunches and ‘backpacks’ to tide them over on weekends and holidays. Expecting parents to actually feed their own kids with the food and cash we give them is obviously a bridge too far in too many cases.
Orphanages?
It’s odd how the people MOST demanding respect from others have NONE for themselves, for each other or for their unborn children.
My parents were not wealthy but they had enough respect for themselves and for us to give their children a NAME and a family!
Captain Obvious smiles. The only groups that do not know this also think there are more than two sexes, men can menstruate, and that communism/socialism works. (E.G., lib arts faculties)
And ‘fatherlessness’ is caused by democrat policies.
You’re right and that’s a huge flaw in the system. Children were actually better off before welfare as parents tended to stay together. Now, 72% of all black kids have no father. It used to be that the church and charities provided for children and things were better. Maybe let donors take tax credits for payments to charities/churches that can prove donations support the kids, not the parents.
Remember how Dan Quayle was crucified for talking about the issue of fatherlessness?
We rarely hear politicians talk about this issue. Since the liberal view is that to talk of this is an attack on single mothers , people are afraid to talk about it.

The system was created when mothers typically stayed at home and did housework and fathers worked outside the home. Now the system just incentivizes unwed parents into recreational sex and having children that they force others to provide for. The dependent class just has more kids to get a bigger check each month.
If the government can force a “deadbeat dad” into providing support, then the mother can likewise bear more of the financial burden or be more selective about whom she shares her bed with. Ending abortion while cutting off welfare and all social programs ends the incentive.
