Unless you address the abuse of the welfare system, all that effectively accomplishes is putting a disproportionate economic burden on productive single men that are not part of the problem to begin with, because they are not the men that these single moms are getting knocked up by.
And the productive single men have little reason to marry tax credits or not, when in practice a woman can renege on the marriage contract and take half or more of the commingled assets despite whether or not she actually contributed a proportionate amount thereof.
Basically society needs to both stop rewarding people for bad decision making and also stop reassigning the consequences of such to others.
Only doing one or the other is not going to fix the issue.
Men already are persecuted with false accusations of rape, abuse, domestic violence, etc. A woman would just like to blame you if you remove no fault divorce.
Or straight up murder you and then get away with it by simply saying that you deserved it because you were an asshole.
We need to make the term adulterer a bad word again. Cheating is seen as commonplace and acceptable now. It's impossible to have a healthy relationship in a society like that.
On one hand, courts are now slowly starting to favor 50/50 child custody arrangements (which is how it should have been from the beginning). On the other hand, community property needs to be eliminated from the minority of states that follow that legal concept. So there is a little reform, but there's still far more work that needs to be done.
...we use to have shotgun weddings for that. The argument is now rather than making the guy take responsibly we hand out welfare checks and thereby discourage marriage since the state replaces the man as the provider for the child and mother.
Yessir. The bleeding hearts say it's so cruel to force people to marry that aren't compatible with each other. Well, maybe they should have thought about that before sticking that dick into that pussy?
Realistically, society needs to hold both men and women accountable for their mistakes. Right now, only men are being punished.
Just spitballing, but maybe give tax credits to married couples?
Removing welfare benefits for single mothers is the first and most effective step.
I want to create multiple accounts just to upvote this comment more.
This.

Agreed; welfare reform is a fantastic idea.
This is the only reason the government has anything to do with marriage in the first place.
16 year old girls getting pumped by Chad don't care about tax credits man. lol
No, but it may help curb the single mom epidemic by discouraging divorce.
Oh for that, just eliminate no fault divorce. Right now a woman can simply decide she wants to get divorced, and the courts will give it to her.
Make it so that the woman has to give a valid reason for wanting to divorce. "He doesn't excite me anymore" is not a valid reason.
And even then, if she can't get the divorce, she'll still get pumped on the side by gigaChad from Facebook.
Are you kidding me?

I can get on board with this. Remove no fault divorce while we're at it, so she can get raked over the coals for adultery.

Taking the female favor out of the courts would help more more than giving a tax break on the married.

How would it be exploited in a way that's worse than what's happening now?
