I hear women tell me 'it is a mission'. the low paycheck keeps child care costs low to help moms work. OK. but now we have a ton of women in the workforce, cost of everything has gone up making it nearly impossible for a mom to stay home. and my gosh, if you are a single woman how can you afford to live by yourself unless you have a degree and a great job? maybe if the moms revolt, just stay home and be mommies. Many just refuse to fall into the 'work makes me a better person' trap. if the majority of moms stayed home (or just worked part-time), they can band together and complain about the cost of stuff today. not every home is a two-person wage earning home. stuff needs to be based on a single wage paycheck. maybe change a world view. oh, the dreams. back to the child care issue, thank you mission driven workers for continuing to devalue the child care industry, don't worry about losing your jobs to new immigrants. they won't take such low pay. and those child care corporations, they are enjoying their dividend checks at the beach resort.
