Re: Bernie Sanders lays out REAL family values platform
She shouldn't have to, anymore than someone who has knee surgery or hernia surgery or other major medical procedures.
That isn't what I asked about discrimination. Would they be allowed to discriminate against let's say gay people and still get that tax credit? If they discriminated against white people or men they wouldn't get that tax credit, right?
Yup. And I agree to give it every other impact that an anecdote gets against the actual stats.
But hey - if you have numbers that suggest that in anything close to 50% of cases the woman will hop right back into the workforce while the man stays home, I'd love to see them.
Businesses get the tax breaks only to the extent that they give the family leave to the employees, within an annual cap. What encourages discrimination in this sphere is making it mandatory.
