Just what "family values" are the Democrats trying to keep away?
In the simplest terms welfare policies and the tax code reward single
parents and discourage marriage. Single mothers are punished for
having a man in the house.
The other problem is the "all or nothing" approach to welfare. It
discourages people from working.

The "war on poverty" was a huge failure. There are more people in
poverty than there were in the early 60s and some have a couple of
generations of their family who have never had meaningful employment..

If you think that is the case, then you and the rest of the Republicans
should be working to get rid of regulations that penalize single mothers
for having a "man in the house."

If you want more impoverished single mothers to hold down jobs, then we
will need to increase the minimum wage substantially and find a way to
provide high-quality daycare for the children left at home.

As for marriage, my understanding is that younger women of all
educational and employment levels are far less interested in that form
of relationship than the women of previous generations, and it has
nothing to do with the tax code. I know lots of couples in their 40s who
have no desire to marry their partners or anyone else, and that includes
the women as well as the men.

Welcome to the me generation.
