apparently all the benefits that exist in europe and asia still don&#x27;t work, so i&#x27;m not really sure what your point is here, other than you want some free money for having a baby.<p>society doesn&#x27;t &#x27;punish&#x27; you for having children, having children is simply an expense <i>somebody</i> has to pay for, and nobody wants to do it.<p>you clearly don&#x27;t want to pay the opportunity cost, as evidenced by your post, so what makes you think the employer wants to do it either?  or the taxpayer?
