Some provocative quotes

As taxpayers, we spend over $4 billion per year on the enforcement of child support. Individual paternity cases frequently involve more than $100,000 in total support. The amount of money involved adds to the gravity of this type of fraud. One possible solution is DNA testing of every birth. While this could increase the divorce rate by revealing infidelity, it would cause people to take responsibility for their actions and put an end to paternity fraud. Moreover, don't children have a right to know who their father is?

Courts almost always rule for corporate profits against any other consideration.

Today, 63 percent of American Indian people live in the cities...and three-fifths of all urban Indians live below the poverty level...Indian people have the highest high school dropout rate, 23 percent, and if you were to include the number of students who never enter high school, this figure would increase to 65 percent. Substance abuse is highest for Indian people versus other ethnic groups. Indian children suffer from mental illness at a rate of 20 to 25 percent. ...

The rates of divorce and out-of-wedlock birth have little to do with tax laws or lack of education about the harm it does to children and everything to do with government officials who have a vested interest in forced divorce and father eviction. ... The divorce industry has rendered marriage, in effect, a fraudulent contract. ... Until marriage is made an enforceable contract, there is little point in preaching to young people to put their trust in it. Young men in particular who are lured into this scam can lose their children, their homes, their freedom, and (in view of the skyrocketing suicide rate among divorce fathers) even their lives. It is hardly surprising that fewer and fewer are being taken in. ... It is not necessary for government to promote marriage. It is only necessary for government to stop ripping it apart.

The standard explanations of socioeconomic disadvantage and underfunded schools don't hold up. Only 14 percent of black college students are from poor families. More depressing, in 1995, black students from homes with an annual income of $70,000 or more had lower SAT scores, on average, than white students with a household income below $10,000, and black students with at least one parent who had a graduate degree scored lower than the children of white high school graduates.
