It's a flawed logic to say that marriage will increase your economic prospects. First of all, there are unemployed people who are married. It's also flawed to think pulling up your pants will automatically get you a job the next day.
Right-wing talking points can't get anymore ridiculous.

Yes it is flawed which is why nobody has ever said that, to my knowledge anyway. Debating with strawmen is flawed too.
Not sure what marriage and inner cities have to do with each other in the sense of creating jobs, but I know there will be a few people working my wedding that helps pay for their income.

The poverty rate for married Blacks is 6%. One criteria businesses use to invest in an area is human capital. Businesses aren't going to invest in an area dominated by barely literate single mothers and their unruly broods.
The real issue here is not a tenuous connection between marriage and inner city jobs. The issue is single parent households. Everyone knows and there is plenty of data to show how many inner city children live in single parent households. And the stereotype (based on reality) is a single mother. If she were married, or the father lived at home, children fare much better.
Some on the right are preoccupied with marriage.
But I think most actually want two parents at home. Married or not.
pulling your pants up wont get u a job tomarrow true but
putting down your 9mm will skyrocket your chances of getting a job.
straighten up and fly right
stop making babies, do some productive work-- learn a trade, go to church
now how hard can that be?
Marriage doesn't directly solve the poverty problem. But it is completely logical that married (or cohabitating) couples are less likely to be poor than their single counterparts.
Of course. Your expenses do not double when 2 adults, working cooperatively, share a household. Life is less expensive with 2 incomes.
