Government can influence marriage views but culture leads
The piece argues that welfare programs aim to promote marriage among the poor with tax breaks and counseling, yet true cultural change requires individuals and religious groups. It cites studies showing poverty linked to divorce, cites figures on out of wedlock births, and critiques reliance on government to reshape family norms.

The piece argues a federal campaign finance reform would outlaw or limit independent spending in the thirty days before primaries and sixty before generals, effectively granting newspapers and broadcasters a monopoly on political information and silencing competing voices while respecting reporting by the media. It warns that the First Amendment protections would be undermined and that smaller donors would be further curtailed.
