Enforcing 2 parent families? That would be pretty silly as well as impossible.

Encouraging, sure you can encourage, enforce, not without being
A) dictatoship
B) Sharia type goverment.

How are gays going to have children? There's a reason that most people are straight - when it comes to producing offspring, it works best.
Altron said:Note how Prof used the word 'Encourage'. Y'know, changing the laws so that people can't get knocked up, divorced, then get government handouts for being a single mom. I think I've been pretty clear with my disapproval of government handouts of any sort.
paul_valaru said:so the kids starve or are neglected.
as for goverment handouts, yes some abuse it, but when your family REALLY needs it so nobody starves, then you will be thankful they exist, and if you never ever need them, great, live a happy successful life.
But when my mom left my abusing father, and had to relocate to get away from him, and could not re-enter the workforce RIGHT away after a couple of years of not working (she tried, but no-one would hire her) it was nice knowing that while we wouldn't be having steak, we would still be eating, thanks to the goverment.
So you get rid of all your goverment "handouts" and destroy the future of a whole bunch of people who got caught in a bind, way to go!!!! "they are lower class, they don't need to eat"

Altron said:There would be a hell of a lot more donating to private charities if income tax was cut in half by removing Fed charity programs.
I'd happily donate 6% of my income to a church instead of giving it to the government through social security tax if I knew that they were giving it to the right people and not spending it friviously.
The government, by definition, is stupid and inefficent. Why not step back and let private charities do it? I am quite certain that the preist at my local church can help a lot more people with the same amount of money than some bean counter in Washington can.
