No, @philipbrich was right, you have the causation backwards. Poverty causes broken families, not the other way around. @TPCarney

The idea the poor just have to get married to be un-poor is both wrong and an underhanded way of shaming poor people.

@TPCarney@SethAMandel Funny how poverty didn't seem to weaken families, including black families, until the 1960s -

@TPCarney@McCormackJohn Obviously poor people DO need stronger families. It's tough, I know, but indispensable. -
Slave owners broke up the black family. Hard to put it back together again, like Humpty Dumpty.

@SaCDav Many American families have been broken up. They can be restored, and should be. No excuses. America is a good place for family. -
Isn't it too late for that? Today's "baby daddies" don't want to marry their "baby mammas". Prefer 2 have many "baby mammas".
@SteveWCarlson -
@SaCDav They're pretending they have families. In America you can. But you have to want it.

@TPCarney if there is one thing Jeb! knows it is how to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. Man was raised in dire poverty, overcame it - View other replies

@GretenDave@TPCarney you can be a cynic, but he's right, strong family=less poverty

@TPCarney Stable families aren't a magic cure for poverty. But they can make even poverty something noble and honorable. -
@TPCarney Family stability is good for ALL families. -

@TPCarney@craig_s_bell He seems charming. -
@JanVanGilder@TPCarney In his view, economic disadvantage gives license to fail forever. Like the vagaries of weather: "It got poor on me".

@TPCarney@AntarianRani If you were born on third base, you have no right to denigrate those who are unable to even make the team,JEB HOLE -
@TPCarney@notmyname1939 Yeah. Because broken families have proven to be sooooo good for the black community.
