Here is where the factions stand on tax credits for small children and child care:
- CDs: Subsidies for children strengthen families and reduce child poverty. That’s what we’re all about. Count us in!
- CLs: Government spending programs reduce liberty and economic growth and create a culture of dependency. Whatever happened to good old fashioned grit and self-reliance? A definite no from us.
- PBPs: Child care subsidies would increase our pool of workers and thus reduce wages. They would also increase demand for our goods and services by giving families with children more disposable income. Just don’t ask us to pay for them.
- Reactionaries: Sounds like a welfare program for lazy minorities to us. Don’t just give poor people money out our pockets—make them work for it!
The bottom line is that the Reactionaries rule the roost, so suffer the little children . . .
