Women can go back to work a week after giving birth,if they did not have complications.
You really think women in India and China get 6 weeks off after giving birth?
When are single,childless women going to get a tax break?
A single, childless women is going to get a tax break about the same time a single, childless man does. NEVER! It's your punishment for not reproducing.
All you curmudgeons who are childless and resentful that anyone should get any breaks when you do not, lighten up. I've raised my children, so I wont get any benefit either. When I worked and had a baby, I had accumulated 6 weeks paid leave time, and that was 30 years ago. I think most employers have provisions already in place for this.
We can all sit back and say, if you are an hourly worker, or a part time worker, with no maternity leave benefits, then you just shouldnt have kids, but this is not going to happen.
Im very politically conservative, but I think things that promote healthy families are a valid use of tax dollars. The government wastes so much money on unneccesary stuff, that they can easily cut back on taxes and still keep programs that promote the common good.
I as a conservative agree with this. I'm single, no kids and I get no tax breaks but I do understand that people with children to support have it a lot harder. I'm all for the 6 weeks with pay and the help with childcare. It's the right thing to do. It's a no brainer for me.
This is just another example of how left the right really is but doesn't want to admit it.
Other examples are:
Nixon-strengthened social security benefits, supported elements of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, and was instrumental in the creation of both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in 1970.
Theodore Roosevelt- had a reputation for being pro-union and anti-monopoly and could be vehemently critical of large corporations. A strong proponent of anti-trust laws, he firmly believed that government should step in to break up corporations into smaller companies when they become monopolies.
Gerald Ford-offered a conditional amnesty program for Americans who had dodged the draft during the Vietnam War.
George W. Bush-Biggest expansion to Medicare (part D) since its inception.
Reagan-signed into law a bill that made any immigrant who had entered the country before 1982 eligible for amnesty.
This policy (mandating paid maternity leave) is actually anti worker as it raises the cost of labor for business. It could end up being anti woman as it disincentives businesses from hiring women of childbearing age. Limiting the deduction to those under a certain income level is pure class warfare straight from the Democrats' playbook.
But if Sanders was pushing it, the left would be shouting how wonderful it is. Be damned with paying for things.. that doesnt matter..

I celebrate your willingness to cut a check to assist others with childcare. let me know when you do.

It goes to show you that some things are not so cut and dry and conservatives and or Republicans will support what they believe will benefit us as a country. It's not about partisanship all the time.
On the other hand, try to find some conservative issues that the left has supported? I don't think there are many.
I already do when I get my paycheck and taxes are taken out of it in the form of tax breaks for those with children.
No, no you dont. Your taxes go to fund the federal government.. The fact that they get tax breaks does not mean you are paying for their expenses, it means their expenses are just reduced..
