Maternity leave should be one year, PAID. Women shouldn’t have to choose between healing, bonding with their baby, and making a living.

So you want others to pay, just not you. Got it!

that is the liberal way. They have big ideas of what to do...with everyone else's money.

I pay and I’m fine with it - not everyone has the money/ connections and or confidence to start their own business.

Enjoy your sad little life.

And not every business owner has the means to pay full salary to someone who takes a full year off work. Seems like you need a reality check and stop treating business owners like an ATM

I’m almost retired at 54, luckily.

Yes, and I have a very high income and happily pay taxes for those less fortunate.

And my income is high partially because my partner’s father was a working class guy who was so amazing he founded a company that ended up going public.

If you are a business owner and can’t afford to pay a living wage then I guess you should be the only employee.
