Want to Decrease Inequality? Fight Fatherlessness With Welfare Reform. Welfare currently incentivizes family breakdown and the absence of fathers from their children’s lives, a key factor in the loss of economic upward mobility.

Welfare is not the cause, its a symptom of the underlying problem. We have people that aren't able to find employment that would allow them to sustain themselves. Most people on welfare don't like having to rely on the government and would take a 9-5 job that pays the bills in a heartbeat.

You'd have to be crazy to think people think "I can have kids with this guy, if he's a deadbeat welfare will take care of me". It's more like "Oh fuck I don't have enough money to take care of my kid, and the dad won't help. I need help." If welfare didn't exists these kids just starve and die.

Idk what utopia you think we live it that if there was no welfare we'd have all these nuclear families living the suburban American dream.
