Which government policy would you prefer?
Which would be better for everyone?

Canada and Norway have the former, whilst Sweden and Finland allow people to deduct half the cost of household services such as cleaning, cooking, lawn-mowing and babysitting from their tax bills.

I would like the taxpayer to subsidise me for breathing.

Radical thought but maybe people could pay for their own child related expenses.

CleverChook I've been blocked by many members for hinting at this idea previously. Apparently it makes you some kind of extremist to suggest that people live within their means.

As SassyDingo said, a rebate is vastly different to a deduction and is pretty much a flat and non descriminating distribution of costs.

PP perhaps the community could subsidise those who are in need of subsidy, those who are not capable of full participation and contribution rather than these overly generous handouts to people who are capable. I know it's a radical idea and all

So you do not believe in universally accessible services and support?
You believe that all subsidies and government support should be means-tested and that it should be user-pays for those ineligible?
