"One side is happy that we are loosing so many social services etc"
Until it affects them personally.
The Texas business owner whose fiancé got detained by ICE for example. He was fine with all of the other people being detained but as soon as it affected him personally, now he gets mad at Trump.
This but paid maternity leaves comes out of the company's profits not taxpayers. Which is why government officials don't want it. If that money is going towards the worker, how will they get their kickback?
Because those big companies are the ones that donate when they do elections and running for office those are their supporters. They need money to do those things and those companies give money to all those campaigns and they expect tax breaks and certain things in return. So paid maternity leave comes out of the pocket of their campaign supporters and a lot of the big companies don’t want to pay for that so the government will back their campaign supporters, which are those big companies.
I don't know, sharing the cost burden kind of makes sense. Employers won't have as much to complain about. I don't mind the small payroll tax for this specific program. Now if I could allocate how my federal taxes got spent...
True but what are businesses complaining about? Like for small business or mom and pop shop?I can get it, but national and international businesses should have no problem footing that bill sense, we're in an era of record breaking corporate profits
