Driving the fathers out of the homes was one of the most horrible things America has ever done. I don't know if we will ever be able to count all the problems this has caused. Now some fathers need to go. Boyfriends who molest the mother's daughters (and perhaps sons) have to go. I would certainly provide for married men, assuming they are not violent, on drugs etc. Children need their fathers desperately, working or not. I do believe that fathers or mothers, with the excpetion of those caring for very small children, and perhaps even then under some circumstances, should be expected to contribute to the community in some way if they are receiving any sort of benefit..and the benefit should be increased when they do. They could be doing maintenance, working in nursing homes, day care centers, etc. mg
