[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That approach won’t work. But a significantly increased tax credit or stipend per young child (0-5) based on need beyond the poverty level might work. Of course, it might also create a perverse incentive to have more babies. A possible solution might be a cap on benefits. The reality is most sahms don’t need to be paid. Heck, many have hired help. [/quote] Just found out a particularly unscrupulous family member just had her 6th child. The oldest had finally aged out of whatever social services was giving her for that child so she had to go and have another to keep those checks rolling in. She lives in a townhouse in Olney paid by someone else and has refused to ever get married because it will impact what benefits are available to her. Thus, her children have had the misfortune of living with a revolving door of men. She's like 38 years old, this has been her career. [/quote]
