Would Society Be More Prosperous If Only Married Women Had the Right to Vote?

For the past 100 years, women have had the right to vote.  Has society benefitted?  If you ask women, they will say it has.  However, it will be difficult for them to quantify exactly how their votes have advanced society.

There are more single mothers today than there were 100 years ago.  Single mother households create emotional trauma for the children.  When you have repeated cycles of emotional trauma for generations, society loses.  One result is increased incarceration and drug addiction.

Women have been able to survive as single mothers because they repeatedly vote for government handouts.  They also asked the government to demand that military, police, fire fighters and corporate America lower the bar so it is easier for women to be hired.  Without lower standards, many women would depend on a man for her financial well being. And traditionally that was a great path for a two parent household and a healthier society.

When married women look at the government, they are more concerned about laws that impact their family.  They are less likely to want to see their tax paying spouse have to finance programs for women who claim they can do it on their own.  By on their own, they mean the government or taxpayer funds for their living expenses.  Married women would rather see programs that benefit her entire family.  That means she is looking out for what is in the best interest of the whole.  Single women are interested in their on self interest.

Imagine if money for government handouts were used for more infrastructure projects and to finance entrepreneurs.  Is it time to rethink who is qualified to make decisions in this nation?
