        Love how Republicans are all about strong families, except when they're not. Which is most of the time.

        If u can't figure out how bonding w/ a newborn child for a few weeks before returning to work helps build strong families, ur beyond help.

        We are entitled to family leave up to 8 weeks. You want it paid. That's where you are putting the burden on others.

        Not at all. Paid family leave provides a multitude of societal benefits. That argument is the same one used against paying school taxes.

        I'm not necessarily against it but what happens if someone abuses the system. Ex: you take 8 weeks with pay & then decide not to go back

        It's not paid by employers. It's 100% employee funded. So not a problem. In fact, leaving a job will happen LESS frequently.

        Because unpaid maturity leave and having to pay out of pocket for COBRA when on FMLA is making the top 2% USA great! #twistedlogic 😕
