Women have learned to remain single to receive benefits from the government, according to Fox Business host John Stossel, and they want handouts.
Stossel said on Fox News Fox & Friends that the War on Poverty only helped the nations poor for five years. After that, progress stopped because people particularly women learned to depend on government handouts, he explained.
They taught women, better not have a man in your house because youll get more money if theres no guy there, Stossel remarked. And so people adjusted their behavior. And now they want more handout what didnt work, the handouts they want to do more of.

Then, when thousands in taxpayer CPS, police, and Family Court charges are spent...
There will be the thousands in personal divorce lawyer and counseling fees, etc.

Nowadays, many single women are doing well enough for themselves that they don't need the man OR the 'handout.' And people like Stossel will still complain about a 'war on boys' because more women are attending and completing college, then getting decent jobs.
