[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Joe Manchin says he could be on board with paid leave but wants a new payroll tax on workers to access the social benefit[/quote] https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-manchin-paid-leave-workers-democrats-congress-biden-2021-11 Wow Joe wants to raise taxes on everyone. What a republicans.[/quote] God, he is such a shitbag. [/quote] So those of us who already had our kids, and didn’t get any paid leave, should pay tax so others can have it? GTFO.[/quote] I’m willing to do it even though I’m done having kids. Maybe I’m just a kinder and more generous person than you.[/quote] NP. I’m not ‘generous’ enough to pay for other people who can’t afford it to have kids. And then since they can’t afford it, I’ll need to keep paying to raise those kids. Paying for public schools that we don’t use is as far as I’m willing to go towards paying to raise other people’s kids. My responsibility is to my own family. Some of us don’t have trust funds and inheritances coming to us.[/quote] I see your point EXCEPT you dont live in isolation. You pay for public schools because its for the public good. If I dont have a car I still have to pay for roads. And I really cant imagine that you are okay with children suffering. I make 60k and have a child. My partner makes 90k. We make more than many and make a LOT less than most of our peers. My child's health and wellbeing are not infringed upon if I need to pay 2k more in taxes a year. Do you know why? Bc he has loving, involved parents. I wont allow children to suffer just so you can stick it to their parents. How hard up do you have to be to see the world the way you do. Ugh. [/quote] No one is 'suffering' because PP and I refuse to be happy about paying more and more for kids we didn't bring into this world and their parents have no plans to provide for despite the free education they too received at the expense of the government. The progressives wanted free monthly summer stipends for food, free pre-school, free childcare, free college, free year-round monthly stipends for everything else, on top of the 15 years of already free standard education and free breakfast/lunch provided to kids and free healthcare for impoverished children. At some point its the parents responsibility to provide for their own children.[/quote] I'm so glad they nipped this in the bud. I literally saw a SAHM today asking if she was going to get PAID (like on retainer) out of the childcare subsidy like the daycares would if they chose to keep their kid at home. The entitlement was off the charts.[/quote]
