How America ended up with the worst maternity leave laws on earth

Why don't we do this, get rid of all entitlements. No more handouts from the government. Then everyone that works will bring home more, and they won't need government assistance. If you can get up and walk to the store to get beer and cigarettes, then you can work. I'm sick and tired of supporting the lazy.

Yes!! Lets cut off the red jesusland states from welfare

"As it turns out, it is red states that are overwhelmingly the Welfare Queen States. Yes, that's right. Red States — the ones governed by folks who think government is too big and spending needs to be cut — are a net drain on the economy, taking in more federal spending than they pay out in federal taxes. They talk a good game, but stick Blue States with the bill."

"Take a look at the difference between federal spending on any given state and the federal taxes received from that state. We measure the difference as a dollar amount: Federal Spending per Dollar of Federal Taxes. A figure of $1.00 means that particular state received as much as it paid in to the federal government. Anything over a dollar means the state received more than it paid; anything less than $1.00 means the state paid more in taxes than it received in services. The higher the figure, the more a given state is a welfare queen".

Then they didn't abstain did they?

And self control is what is supposed to separate humans from the rest of the animal kingdom..

We are still animals and we still like to ****. Always have and always will

Well that's weird. I havent seen any dog or cow abortion clinics. Or for that matter elephant clinics. Or do they bark or moo a certain way when they want to abort?

Pregnancy as a disability! Interesting.



And what are the state laws with respect to a self-inflicted disability? Do you still have to pay the person?



Say, for example, I drop a hammer on my foot at home, on purpose. Do I get to collect disability?

Why punish a woman for getting pregnant?



Most modern societies realize that pregnancy is a good thing and you don't want a woman to have to choose between her job and her baby

Show one instance where a women had to choise between her baby and her job??



Its a hoot out of one side of their mouths they say a pregnency is a good thing,then nout the other they whole suport the mass killing due to abortion.



They have no moral compass or fondation.

FEW people realize that getting pregnant can mean losing your job. Imagine a woman who, seven months into her pregnancy, is fired from her position as a cashier because she needed a few extra bathroom breaks. Or imagine another pregnant employee who was fired from her retail job after giving her supervisors a doctor’s note requesting she be allowed to refrain from heavy lifting and climbing ladders during the month and a half before her maternity leave: that’s what happened to Patricia Leahy. In 2008 a federal judge in Brooklyn ruled that her firing was fair because her employers were not obligated to accommodate her needs.

I am surprised you are not here spouting about gay "rights" on this issue as two males will never directly procreate with one another. So how can they get maturity leave if the couple can not procreate?

Forward thinking states grant paternity leave. Mine is one.

You all fight for the right to have an abortion

and now you wailing about Maternity leave

It never ends with you takers in our Society...YOU want more and more and if it's off the backs of others so frikken what

You people are a drain on our country and US FELLOW taxpayers

We should definitely end up like France who I think that idiot Obama said they were the model for the rest of us

We are only 1 of 4 nations that doesn't have paid maternity or paternity leave. 4. Four. That' downright pathetic for "the greatest country in the world."

Black slave mothers returned to the fields the day after giving birth with the newborn in a sling attached to their bodies, leaving their hands free to pick the cotton. That's the American way!

How is it we are one of the only nations on earth that doesn't understand the importance of a mother bonding with her child? Based on what has been posted on this thread, we are also one of the most callous

We cant afford it, but every other nation finds a way

The embarrassing part is we are the, wealthiest nation on earth

Its just another emotional fairy tale. We have a shitload of potential harlequin romance novelists here.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The fact that we dont pay for maternaity leave is FUBAR. But then again, in a nation that puts money, greed and companies before the citizens its not surprising.

If you don't like the benefits offered by your company don't take the job.
