In the past 40 years, America has seen growing inequalities between wealthier and poorer families. Beginning from birth and aggravated by unjust social institutions, children born and raised in poorer families struggle to become successful because of lack of resources and information provided. This ultimately harms society because without the means to improve their life situation, poorer children and children who are not raised properly cannot contribute to society as the future workforce and childcarers. Because the position of children begins at childbirth, it is necessary to equip them with the means to be successful. By revising welfare to allocate monetary resources to poorer families without diminishing returns from taxes on improved earnings, poorer families will be better able to support their children and break the poverty cycle. Similarly, since not all parents know the best way to raise their children, providing government-run childcare services will help children be successful with more equal and improved childcare from expert resources. The government can clearly play a large and influential role in the process of child-rearing, which can, in turn, improve society by raising children to become as successful as possible.
