It occurs to me that interdependence should be encouraged, on a micro level such as the family. I'm not sure why we've developed a society where such a high percentage of children live in single parent households and our government, in its benevolence, encourages the practice through subsidization.

Interdependence, as discussed here on a macro level, is "socialism" or "communism". I'm not sure why anyone in favor of that social structure would find correct labeling nefarious.
