No baggage? How about advocating/voting for the destruction of families? That’s what socialists do via the welfare state.[/quote]
Bernie Sanders on family values:
FWIW, I agree that children do best when they are raised by both of their parents in the same household (every study bears this out). But I don’t believe that welfare is solely responsible for the disintegration of the traditional family unit in the U.S. It might have some effect, but it’s a much more complex issue. Divorce laws, especially “no-fault” divorce, have played a major role. The social push to not judge those who disregard their obligations to their families is also a part of the problem. The social pressure to pretend that marriage is an “obsolete” tradition is a big part of it, too.
It’s a complex problem, but ALL of us have to accept responsibility for our part in it.
