[quote=Anonymous][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] You think families that have chosen and sacrificed in order to have a SAHP should also then pay for the childcare of the families who want two incomes?[/quote] Not only that - people with no or just 1 kid should be subsidizing the child rearing decisions of those who have 4, 5, 6, or 8 children? Raising a child has associated costs. In addition to love it requires hard work and resources. People should not be insulated from the cost of child up-bringing. [/quote] You both sound very judgemental. I assume that the one poster thinks subsidised child care would be unjust because you do not benefit from it if you have no children, or if one parent does not work. But those who home school and have no children are paying for the public school An I assume the other poster is worried about large families benefiting from this? Every child benefits from your tax payer dollars, just like every old person does. It is just a question of priorities. Should the governments taxx money go to benefit the vulnerable in our society, the old, disabled, poor, young. Or something else worthless, like war, weapons, military spending to some other land [/quote]
