Quote:We had supply side economics long before the 60's even during segregation which was a horrible obstacle for minority families you still had core families and far less crime. It wasn't until the incentive of a strong family was removed that we began to see the erosion of a strong family core. Note this isn't exclusive to minority families either it holds true across all ethnicities that broken homes on average hold a higher chance of poverty.


That's the point the article is trying to drive home it is the broken homes dependent on welfare instead of a core family that is a correlation to high crime and cycles of poverty.


It is a complex issue but I'd argue at the core one reality holds true, welfare as it is today has created a cycle of dependency that is extremely difficult to get out of. It punishes the ones that attempt to climb the economic ladder and rewards those that remain stagnant.
