Dems Deliberately Tax Marriage

Don and Roma are talking about this. Health Bill Penalizes Married Couples. Thousands of dollars more.

P.S. You tax something, you get less of it. Do we really want to tear at the fabric of society in these trying times? We know kids do better with two parents, with someone to love them, however imperfectly. We know success in life is more likely if you finish high school, get married--and then have the baby. That was the essence of welfare reform in the 90's. We are going to take away these guardrails again--and a time when we most need them.

The Depression had poverty, but not the social pathology and crime we have today. Why? Because marriage and more intact families were the rule, not the exception.

Actions have consequences. Children pay the price, some their entire lives, some with their lives.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously and accurately explained the disastrous results of welfare back in 1965. The welfare system created a matriarchy with millions of children lacking their father in the home.

It's no wonder illegitimate birthrates are soaring and unmarried mothers now give birth to four out of every 10 babies born in the United States. Prior to 1970, most unmarried mothers were teenagers, but by 2007 women in their 20s had 60 percent of all babies born out of wedlock, and women over age 30 had another 17 percent.

You subsidize something, you get more of it:

Means-tested welfare programs already cost taxpayers close to $1 trillion a year (twice as much as national defense and nearly the size of the federal deficit), and Obamacare is projected to add another $2.5 trillion after all its provisions take effect. There's no end in sight to the increasing costs of these entitlements.
