Income Inequality Fosters Unmarried Cohabitation (NYT)

Alan: Republicans are unusually adamant that we must encourage marriage over cohabitation. 

I agree - heartily.


But don't expect conservatives to put money where their mouth is.


Expect them to exacerbate the decline of marriage.

Fight inequality. Shack up. ""Marriage inequality" should be at the center of any discussion of why some Americans prosper and others don't. According to Census Bureau information analyzed by the Beverly LaHaye Institute, among families headed by two married parents in 2012, just 7.5% lived in poverty. By contrast, when families are headed by a single mother the poverty level jumps to 33.9%." Ari Fleischer in The Wall Street Journal.
