Most of the problems start with the breakdown of the Family unit which has been under attack for decades.
Fix that and all the problems go away.
It's progressive Liberalism that is the problem.
6It leads to Socialism and Socialists want to destroy the Family unit. The State must become the protector and controller of all. Strong families threaten that.
I agree that the shift away from married families with children towards single-parent and blended families is a big part of the problem, but I do not think that it is the only problem.
I do believe, however, that my proposal for a Working Family Tax Credit would do more to fix the problem than any other policy proposal:
I do not think anything that has been tried up until now is anything of the scope of what I am proposing.
If a Working Family Tax credit is combined with a phase-out of means-tested benefits, it would radically change the financial incentives of people of below-average income individuals. We talking 12-40k differences in post-tax income. I seriously doubt that it would have marginal effects at best.
Don't get me wrong. I do not claim it will eliminate single-parent families, but I think that it will make a significant dent in the problem.
Question what would you say to Libertarians on this matter since we have very different stances on these than the main two parties. We also are probably the most different party.
I don’t think Libertarians would like my proposal much, but I think the more pragmatic ones would realize that it is better than the current welfare state so they would not oppose the reform.
They don’t hate the poor but they don’t like the government spending so much money social programs that don’t work. They really want practical solutions that don’t make the government bigger. I also think charity’s should be used more too in my opinion charity’s do more work than the government does problay more than the government will ever do.
How do you estimate a 3d party candidate should deal with foreign affair issues?Try to minimize spending and lower the debt or keep strong support for allied nations?Working class people seemingly would prefet the former approach,but politicians shouldn't rely on promised they aren't willing to deliver
Thanks for the question. I don't know. I seriously doubt that a third-party candidate can emerge primarily on foreign affairs. My guess is that domestic issues will dominate, so the best strategy would be to say very little about foreign policy.

These kind of "pay people to live morally" plans tend to have marginal effects at best.

I never claimed that Libertarians "hate the poor." Where did you get that from?
And I believe that my proposal is a practical solution that doesn’t make the government bigger.
You have never said it but many people believe that's who we are
