Marriage will end poverty?

So says Representative Jack Kingston.

because the truth of the matter is, if people end poverty, many of them would marry and work 40 hours a week, they would be out of poverty.

Something tells me that it might be a little bit more complicated than that.

Don't get me wrong. Divorce and kids growing up without both parents certainly contribute to the problems of poverty.

But simply getting hitched is not going to do the trick.

Added thought--- Unless the couple gets some really kick-butt wedding presents from A-list people.
