[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These costs are outrageous. Why don't parents rise up and demand and vote for subsidized care, along the lines of what some European countries provide? I just don't understand it.[/quote] Who wants to pay even higher taxes for your babysitting work?[/quote] I have thought about this a LOT and what I think we need is better tax treatment of child care expenses. Allow every $ to be tax deductible as a business expense, for example. Or allow it to be a tax credit capped at an amount that would actually help ($20K)? I think subsidized child care or government child care is a bridge too far but the fact that we don't treat child care as a necessary expense for parents to work is out of touch with modern reality.
