[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is an enormous policy gap that harms women, children, families, and the economy. We should have universal paid leave. [/quote] Countries that have extended maternity leave and benefits also have exponentially high taxes on personal income. To achieve the same in the US the tax would have to be incremental tax increases over a long period of time. Highest tax rate for high earners now is 37%. It would take decades to increase taxes on the Uber rich and it simply is not going to happen.[/quote] Every country except Papua New Guinea and some tiny oceanic countries offer better maternity leave than the US. I guess those other 192 countries are all crazy socialists!!! For countries with paid leave for mothers, the average number of weeks is 29. 119 countries give at least 12 weeks of paid leave to moms.
