[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you doctors or attorneys be willing to reduce your fees in order to make your services more affordable to lower income families?
Maybe the grocery store should lower the cost of it's goods for them too.[/quote]

Straw man, no one said anyone should decrease their rates.  Maybe just try and not ridicule people trying to scrape by though.[/quote]

Not a straw man. Her argument is legitimate. We hear constantly that something needs to be done about affordable childcare. My reaction is that so many providers of childcare already barely make enough to survive and can't afford to have a family themselves, so where exactly does the affordability come from? We have a problem with affordable health care in this country, but no one expects doctors to simply charge less, or to have "compassion" for low income people. There are childcare options for low income people with regard to childcare. They aren't the best options, and not the newest nicest centers, but that's capitalism. You are not entitled to private customized one on one care in your home, and the people who post these ads ARE being entitled. Expecting someone to watch your kid for next to nothing because you want it but can't afford it is insane. Insane. Let me go put in a laughably lowball offer on a multimillion dollar home that I can't afford, because I want it and everyone needs a home right? Should the owners show me compassion, or would they be offended at my audacity?[/quote]

I think you're super uneducated in the argument that you're making.  Yes, doctors and other medical providers are actually receiving less and less compensation from the government and insurance companies in reimbursement for visits/procedures and surgeries.

It is not entitled to place an ad looking for childcare.  You are coming across as very naive in thinking that everyone who needs help will get assistance for childcare or that the centers that may be available are safe and some are shut down for not even meeting minimum safety standards.  I sold my home recently and yes I had people putting in offers for less than half of what it was worth.  I politely declined them. Sometimes a low ball offer is accepted in both real estate and childcare.[/quote]
Look, you did not sell your house for 50% of its value. Take your nonsense some where else.[/quote]

NP here. I think you missed the PPs point. She's not suggesting you TAKE the low paying jobs. She's saying you could stop complaining and have some compassion for those people though. No, she didn't take the low offer on her house but maybe she didn't go on an anonymous forum complaining about it either. [/quote]
