Ethics and Economics

The so-called sexual revolution of the 1960s and 70s produced behavioral changes that resulted in high divorce and out-of-wedlock birth rates. This negatively impacted government welfare, economic performance and lifestyle changes!

More recently, the rates of divorce and unmarried parenthood have fallen back to 1950s levels—among college graduates. But they have remained high, or even increased, among non-college graduates!

It seems that almost none who graduate from high school, goes to college, gets a job, gets married (and then STAYS married), falls into poverty. However, many who do not do these things DO.

Those who are pro-life, pro-education and pro-family seem to excel economically in our society. So, it behooves our government to advance public policies on education, taxes, immigration and other issues that can encourage, reward and honor constructive and ethical personal behavior.
