Confucius said the "strength of a nation is derived from the integrity of its homes." Any funds put toward supporting the family — a dad, a mom and children — strikes at the heart of our social problems, while other funds are useful only for mopping up. Leave tax money allocated for the family where it is and where it can do the most good.

Good. Sounds like we're proposing higher taxes on corporations that outsource and significant slashes to foreign aid, the defense department, and the end to all wars. Great! I can support this! We need to keep the spending of money home!!! Not More..
Let's help people, for people are what make up not only families as you define them but society as a whole.
Okay . . . what exactly are you proposing?
