Okay, you win. We need to bring back shotgun weddings.The FACT is that a child raised with a married couple is far less likely to live in poverty than the child of a single parent. By the way, a child is 30 times more likely to be abused if there is an unmarried male living in the house.
Now, if you want to talk about THE REAL WORLD, let me know.
Of course, many couples live in the same household as a way to manipulate the system, live together, and receive taxpayer money without marriage. If you don't know a married couple gives the children a far greater sense of security than two people living together, it is both pathetic and sad.
And so what? Hey, I don't blame anyone for manipulating a bad system, because everyone does. I am sure you grab up every tax deduction you can legally claim. I know I do.
Hmm, you just put up a bunch of off topic graphs, and then called me a liar. That's nice, buddy.As for the poverty rate, the War on Poverty went into effect in 1965, not 1959.
Here's the relevant graph.
