What the Welfare State has done to the Family Unit

Walter E. Williams, Economist at George Mason argues that part of the break down of the family unit is the welfare state. That the percentage of black children being raised in 1940 by a single parent was 19%, today it is 72%.
He argues simply that if you subsidize something, you get a surplus, and if you tax something, you get less of it. As a society we have come to start subsidizing single mothers.
