[quote=Anonymous][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] By that "logic" CEOs don't need to be paid[/quote] Gimme a break! If Joe earns enough for his wife to be a SAHM, why should my taxes pay her to stay home? We all know sahms with a cleaning service btw. Having said that, I would be in favor of a big tax credit or significant cash benefit for families with young kids (0-5) to offset child care costs. I would pay a bigger incentive to married couples (to incentivize marriage), and I would cap the benefit at 2 kids. I wouldn’t limit it to low income families. I would extend it to households up to $250k. [/quote]
