"Cultural Roots of a Fiscal Crisis"
Clearly, non-traditional family structures are affecting us all negatively...
At Townhall.com, Star Parker includes this in her recently posted article:
"According to Ron Haskins of the Brookings Institution, in 2009 the poverty rate for children in homes with married parents was 11 percent. The poverty rate for children in homes headed by a single mother was 44.3 percent.
The incidence of homes headed by a single mother has gone from 6.3 percent of all households in 1950 to 23.9 percent in 2010. In a Gallup poll done this year, 71 percent of respondents between 18 and 34 years old said having a baby outside of marriage is morally acceptable.
So we have promoted a culture, a culture fostered by the political left, that sanctions behavior in which poverty is more likely to occur."
