Having references to back your statements certainly adds credibility. You have put a lot of thought and work into this issue. Your statement, "households headed by single parents are more likely to live below the poverty line---", means that our country needs some introspection. For the sake of a healthy nation, should we discourage single family households? Unless some study indicates otherwise, regardless of race, the traditional family structure, on average, should result in more well adjusted and better educated children. In the long run, less violence and more prosperity for all.
