The childcare tax credit makes some sense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our child benefit goes directly to the families who need it the most.
Accounting for the unpaid care economy can drive progressive policies such as paid family leave, social security credits for early childcare, tax credits, and quality early childhood education.
I'm a big advocate of a work-for-pay setup rather than an allowance that isn't attached to chores - it's a great way to impart the value of money to your children.
Some caregivers want to reciprocate the care they themselves received as children.
If you're financially responsible, your children have a much better chance to grow up financially responsible.
People think that child-support enforcement benefits children, but it doesn't.
For parents - women in particular - good quality, affordable childcare is vital.
I think that the opportunity to be a kid another year and not have to not worry about the responsibilities of paying bills, and worry about getting an agent and worry about getting an accountant was important.
People with children will know this: when the childcare is over, it's over on the dot. You immediately have to go into child mode; there's no down time.
I feel that you always pay when you are a child.
