Protecting Family as the Center of Culture 

Just adding here: Let's just imagine that a town has 20,000 people. 1/4 of the town needs some help. Whether it be for food, energy bills, medication, clothes, day care, etc. Not everybody needs the same sort of help, it varies. Let's say each person of about 15,000 people did the right thing and donated 10 bucks or so each week...or even once a month. 150,000 plus would be donated! And that is for a month! A year? $1800000! Non of that money is from the government and the money YOU donate can be used as a deduction on your taxes!

You are correct! When I was a kid in the 80s everyone knew everyone, helped each other, and a lot of us grew our own food. The "me" culture and feminism have ruined us.

What about the domestic violence that happens in families? Why is this never talked about?

🤣😂 seditionist republicans never support anyone or anything except lobbyists or the top 1%

@@SEmme-ov6yy Look Mr. Obvious Troll Account, no one is ignoring domestic violence. But that's NO excuse not to have a family. Of course no one should stay in that kind of an environment, but raising boys to be real men and respect women (or vice verse) helps eliminate that problem.

😂🤣

It's NOT a "choice", it's a child. Murder is not acceptable so you can be selfish. And more senators should follow Jesus; they'd be less greedy and more family oriented.

You are absolutely 100% correct

“His” model?? *He* wants to “engineer culture”?? Are you daft? No. You just wanna party n protect your precious abortion years until you’re “ready” to be a real man. Yecch.

@@godblessamerica9356 You’re free to name call and make assumptions about me all you like, but if you watch the video and listen to what Rubio says, he literally describes the sorts of families he thinks should benefit from certain policies, and leaves the family models and policies that I brought up out of the question. Just FYI, I’m a gay man. Abortion rights affect me far less than they do you, I’m assuming. I will likely never have children of my own, but my future husband and I might choose to adopt one day or have surrogate children. If we do, I’d love to have policies in place to ensure that the child we care for, and that other people’s children, have the same benefits as children of “traditional” families. Even if you think my husband and I don’t deserve to have kids, or will be worse parents, you can’t tell me in good faith that the child we bring into our home should suffer for it because politicians only want to support one model of family.

@@geovaughan8261 I see. I asked you if you were daft because it’s not “engineering” culture when children are happiest born and raised and loved through their own biological parents together. That’s reality. My apologies except that you defend abortion which, you probably haven’t thought of this but, is about protecting men’s wants more than women and especially children… and basically, sadly, in the state of your desires, you defend a society which is only about consenting adults wanting kids no matter what, and puts the needs of children AFTER the “needs” and preferences of adults to put their own desires first, before the fundamental need of a child to be conceived and born and loved and raised by his or her own married genetic mother and father. It’s not my rules, it’s not my society to “reengineer.” You do you, though, but adults doing anything they want with their sex lives inflicts lots of long term problems on children. Just sayin.

1. Who a child is happiest with has nothing to do with whether or not that child’s family should receive support to help care for them. If you really think single parents, gay couples and adoptive families are worse off then they should be getting MORE support to help offset that child’s increased hardship. Rubio seems to think the most deserving families are the ones already better off, not the ones who need more help. 2. What do you call it when the government incentivizes one very specific type of family and not any other for no justifiable reason? I call that engineering culture. Rubio wants one type of family to thrive in the US and no other, because he believes in a culture that reinforces the traditional family, not a culture that cares for all without respect to marital status, orientation or beliefs. But if you prefer another word that doesn’t speak towards motives, let’s call it “discrimination” instead. 3. When men have to carry a baby for nine months, have their lives put at risk and their bodies permanently changed by childbirth, have their time taken up by expectations of childcare and have to be dependent on their partner to provide for and support them if they’re unable to work, then I will agree that abortion benefits men more than women. But time and again it’s the woman who leaves her job to stay home, the woman who is expected to do most of the child rearing, and the woman who is left with the child if the man decides not to stick around. Being a father is far from easy, but the person whose body, career and life is more impacted by a child is the one who gives birth to the child, hands down. Additionally, in every case of abortion the woman is the one who has final say in whether she goes through with it, and it being her choice is to her benefit exclusively. Her husband or partner has zero legal say in the matter. At least for now anyway. I’m far from daft. For someone who never has to worry about abortion I’ve thought a LOT about its implications and the ideas Rubio presents here. I’m sure you are honestly arguing from a belief that your model of the world is the best and most correct one, but I cal tell you as a child of a single gay parent that I was happy, well loved and well raised, not only because my mother was an amazing person but because she was lucky enough to have the resources to provide for me. I think you’ll find that many different kinds of families can raise healthy and happy kids when they have enough support.

For what exactly constantly lying 🤣

@@douglashagedorn7717 For speaking truth, TROLL account

Florida is sinking due to global warming so there will be plenty to go around 🤣

Seditionist republicans never give they just take away.

@@douglashagedorn7717 I can’t believe that democrats haven’t raised the federal minimum wage, it’s been 13 years since federal minimum wage has increased. They say they care about the people but it seems they care more about people who are not American citizens or people who already make a good living because they have a college degree ( student loan forgiveness program). There are Americans who work for 7.25 an hour in 2022 it’s shameful and low key slavery in my opinion , people working 40 hours a week for $250 are the truly oppressed people group.

@@Dara-ub9ol it take 60 votes in the senate to pass a bill that would achieve that goal. which Biden already tried to do but as usual the seditionist republicans voted against it. Reread my previous comment!!!

@@douglashagedorn7717 both parties are problematic, the democrats always find a way to give money to other countries and people from other countries but they aren’t as concerned about the AMERICANS who are low key slaves trading their time for 7.25 an hour.

Also over the past 13 years I’m sure democrats had an opportunity to pass a bill to raise minimum wage but that’s not their priority clearly.

Bingo

You spelled democrats and the lgtb "community" wrong.

I'll add one caveat: The breadwinner can be wife who spends as much time at home with her husband and children as at work.

@@joanneschrader *shakes head* Any number of feminists will cheer such idea. I will reject that caveat for the most part though. I think few men will choose to be home-makers by their own free will.

@@11_11.. I don't know why you feel the need to tell me that.

@@11_11.. That's understood. That doesn't disqualify women from being breadwinners and husbands staying home.

@@11_11.. Mr. Flaherty posted this " We DO need most households to be single-income homes. Homes in which the breadwinner spends as much time at home with his wife and children as at work." I phrased my response with same word order as his only I added that the breadwinner could be the wife. Why do you have such a hard time understanding that a married woman can make more money than her husband, thus making her the breadwinner? Stop putting the family unit in a box. She may work. He may stay home. Maybe one of them works from home. Breadwinning isn't necessarily restricted to a traditional office or factory job of 40 hours a week with a commute and a two week vacation. I think single income homes are great where one member earns a living wage that comfortably supports the needs of the entire family. It can be either adult (husband or wife) at any point during the marriage. Who knows? There are a myriad number of family situations. People's lives follow different trajectories, so try flexible thinking.

I almost always cringe when I see a request for greater flexibility in schedules. For my experience, ..very few jobs have tasks which may be genuinely accomplished at different times from a "standard" work day. Ironically, the very same "retail-oriented" economy which allows us each to buy a product or service whenever we wish...ALSO means that someone must provide that product or service right then. People howl about the ravages of the 40s and 50s; precisely because people needed to wait until regular business hours, most people COULD spend more time away from work to enjoy their families.

Yes, let’s make it harder to for vulnerable women to leave their husbands!!! You and your children deserve to suffer!!!!!

@@abigailcallister207 you must think that every woman in a marriage is in an abusive one. 🙄 abuse is a valid reason to leave, but that's not the majority of divorce.

@@abigailcallister207 Such implies that women lack ability to make competent decisions for themselves. I should think most women ought find that idea quite insulting.

He didn't say single parent, he said single income.

Actually no, people SHOULD go to church. Society wouldn't be so f'd up if more people followed Jesus instead of brain-dead "influencers"

What a great idea! Only rich kids get to have education now!! ❤

​@@abigailcallister207 you call most inner city public schools “education”?

Eliminate the dept of education

O please I don’t want to hear you 💩👿🐖

Biblical marriage?! How many concubines does your husband have Carol? ❤

😂🤣 you seem too have gotten ahold of some really potent meth.
