[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you support paid family leave and universal affordable childcare, and candidates that push for those policies. [/quote]

This!

And I had my oldest when I was 21[/quote]

NP.  I do not support paid family leave or universal childcare.  If you can't afford children, stop having them ..your kids are not the tax payer's financial responsibility.[/quote]

Why not? All tax payers need younger generations. Who is going to care for you in your nursing home?[/quote]

I paid for my kids, you pay for yours.  Also, I do not expect my children to take care of me in my old age.  I have paid into Medicare since my first job.  Stop living above your means and you can stay home and take care of your own kids.

what are you prattling about? I wouldn’t want to SAHM if you paid me.[/quote]

Ditto.  SAHM is not for me either.  Also depending on your age, Medicare might not be around when you are older unless there is a big enough younger working generation to pay into it especially as people live longer.  We are saving and planning for retirement without depending on Medicare.  If the program is still viable then it’s an added bonus.[/quote]
