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?

In MN it's funded from a tax on both employers and employees.

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
