Labour’s tax credits have caused thousands of families to break up, an authoritative study said yesterday.
The flagship scheme is blamed for a doubling of the divorce rate among low income parents with young children.
Tax credits, introduced a decade ago to cut child poverty, were supposed to help single mothers and hard-working families.
A sad but challenging article…I made reference to it in my own blog http://www.sbarnabas.com/blog ‘Anti Christian Britain’
This aspect of welfare has been evident in the United States since LBJ’s “Great Society”. Given he heinous result in our inner cities and pockets of flyover country, it is specious to claim that “Aid to Families with dependent Children” is of actual benefit to those who live in poverty. On the contrary, it stratifies them by making them dependent on the state.
It is not coincidental that Martin Luther King Jr. was a republican. The democrats have had a lock on the minority vote ever since the advent of the LBJ’s programs. They are either stupid, or believe that we are stupid. Given the emerging policies of the current occupant of the white house, I think that they believe that we are stupid.
On the other hand, “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
