Congrats! You know of a crackhead single mother! Now, while I'm sure there are single PARENTS (not just mothers) who decide to use drugs, and spend their money irresponsibly, it doesn't mean that ALL parents choose to spend their money that way. There are GOOD parents who fall into a lower tax bracket that appreciate this extra money every month to ACTUALLY put towards daycare. I don't understand why it is that you feel the need to complain about this extra daycare money. It's for daycare. I may not be a GENIUS, but I feel that it's safe to assume that if a child is in daycare, the parent is either working, or in school furthering their education so that they can become self sufficient, and no longer a *burden* to society! Please explain to me why this is a bad thing because I fail to see how it could be. ALSO ... I'm not sure if it works this way in every province, but a friend of mine previously collected assistance in Ontario until she completed her high school education. After this time, she could no longer collect assistance, and now has to support her two children, while in college, via a part time job and a student loan. You speak about an anchor of your own, but while this woman is struggling to feed two children with a part time job and a student loan, furthering her education so that she does not need your hard earned tax money PERMANENTLY, her own anchor is weighing quite heavily. I'm not saying it's YOUR fault that she has children, or anybody else's for that matter. What I AM saying is that I'm PROUD to be a citizen of a country that cares enough about it's people and it's children, not to see them in the streets. I'm also proud to be a citizen of a country that cares enough about it's taxpayers to see to it that single parents and low income families in general have the ability to stabalize themselves financially so that you, the taxpayer, no longer have to *pay their way* I'm just a little curious as to why you're not so proud.
