[For example, consider the case of the Progressive’s ordinate system with respect to welfare for ‘poor families headed by a single person’. At no point in the past 50 years have Progressives come to terms with two facts:
- Progressive interventions to aid ‘poor families headed by a single person’ generates ‘poor families headed by single persons’.
- Single parenthood is a prime contributor to childhood poverty.
Assistance has merely shifted the role of fatherhood onto the sovereign state.
What?
The state does not cause the conception directly. However, it assumes the role of the husband as the female’s helper who ‘the female puts in charge in order to demonstrate her fidelity’.
How could ‘helping poor people’ produce such perverse consequences?]
