90% of a child’s brain develops before the age of five, but most American families cannot afford childcare. Childcare at this point costs on average between $10,000 and $15,000 a year. So in the richest country in the world, the average family cannot live on only one salary, allowing one parent to stay home - yet child care costs are prohibitive. This is why we need an economic Bill of Rights providing subsidized childcare. We waste billions of dollars feeding the coffers of corporate greed, and do almost nothing to help parents and small children. #Disruptthecorrupt #Marianne2024 marianne2024.com/economic-bi…

This is one of the big reasons why so many young people are choosing not to have Children!

What kind of bullshit data point are you trying to make up? 90% of what? What are you even measuring? What study? What research? Utter nonsense. Go away boomer trash

The last thing we need is more government intervention in the economy. That is the biggest problem. Get the government out of the way, real tax & healthcare reform would be far better. Imagine if people were able to take home their entire pay check then they could afford #FairTax

Brain development and paid childcare are not synonymous. We may have the richest elites in the world, but our counterfeit currency, declining longevity, homeless rate and massive debt make us third world by many measures. Please open your eyes, stop echoing Joe.

Dear Marianne, What is your response to Smokey Joe's central role in legislation that brought about New Jim Crow? Who will your allies in Congress be for passing cuts in defense spending? Or M4A? How does your energy plan reduce costs for Americans?

All you are doing is strengthening the animosity between the government and the private sector. The bottom line is that you can't come after people's wealth and expect them to just hand it over. It has to be a consensual transaction or it's going to perpetuate class warfare.

People like you setting monetary policy is exactly the reason why the dollar isn’t worth jack shit anymore.

Why not tax breaks for the stay-at -home parent? Right now there’s little financial incentive for one parent to forgo work benefits/career trajectory to step out and raise their child at home
