I guess if we accept this person's position we need to tax people not for paid maternity leave, but for a better education system that encourages women to learn about socioeconomic disadvantage and it's effects on the outrageous number of children being raised in poverty.
Or rather, I would like to forgo paid maternity leave, but instead have the contributions of at-home parents noted in an end user fashion.
I contributed years to raising and nurturing the future tax payers, infrastructure builders, service providers, and so on...
I want the childless who don't support the health and welfare of families to never be able to access the results of my work unless
-all those who contributed to that social good have been serviced
-at a dramatic premium since they didn't "prepay" like I did
While they wait their turn they may only live in homes built by, eat food grown by, receive services performed by, their age peers...
I look forward to them living in their fare share of poverty and uncertainty when their world is entirely fueled by fellow 80 year olds.
