What If Everything You Know About Poverty Is Wrong? (m.motherjones.com)

1. Absent dads are the problem. Sixty percent of low-income dads see at least one of their children daily.

Seeing one of your children at least once a day doesn't prove you aren't an absent father.

2. Single moms are the problem. Only 9 percent of low-income, urban moms have been single throughout their child's first five years.

Just because you weren't single during some small part of your child's first 5 years doesn't mean you're not a "single mom".

3. Handouts are bankrupting us. In 2012, total welfare funding was 0.47 percent of the federal budget.

Welfare is paid for at the state-level generally. Of course it doesn't make up much of the federal budget.

Yikes!
