Kerry Demands More Government Oversight of Children
Likely Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts called for child-care tax creditsand an expanded national after-school child-care system WednesdaySo John Kerry wants to keep the public schools open until 6 PM to serve "working families." Here's the implied premise: it's the government's job to confiscate enough money to supervise the children of the people it is taxing to the point that it takes two jobs to support a family. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Why don't we go all the way? Open the schools 24-7 to accomodate children of night shift workers. Open the schools on weekends for those that have to work those days. Heck, why don't we just turn the children over to government completely so they won't get in the way of the blessed workers.
How about this instead: Lower taxes so that one spouse can afford to stay home and raise the kids. But the Democrats never have a solution that doesn't involve raising taxes and increasing government oversight.

But Goddess - how are you managing now? Would you want to have your child "raised by the state?" (I know you wouldn't) It seems to me that your situation is best solved individually by you, your family and your friends, rather than engineered wholesale and imposed on everyone by a bureacrocy (I can never spell that word).
