what's it worth to take care of a child all day?....one that is not your own, that might be whiney with a runny nose and a fussy eater?

$5/hr???.....$10?hr????...maybe $20?hr?

people think nothing of paying for a $15 hair cut that takes a few minutes (especially folks like my hubby, who has little hair left...lol) plus giving a tip.....

you pay upwards of $10 or more to drive your car thru an automatic car wash that takes like 5 minutes...

Are you a daycare worker? I’ve been watching this march for 3 decades and it scares me to death. If women do not want to care for their own children, then they shouldn’t have any. Should the tax dollars of others subsidize daycare and preschool? This is what Democrats believe and what they are working towards. This is what Hillary wants. She wants the government to help pay for the care of children, not to simply help families in tough financial situations, but in order to ensure that mothers enter and remain in the workplace.

You must be kidding? You don’t get a haircut 8hrs a day/ 5 days a week. Those car wash machines cost 10s of thousands of dollars. Your analogies need some serious work. Most day care centers here charge between $150-$200 a week per kid. Usually 2 recent highschool grads are doing the caretaking. They watch around 20 kids together. That’s about $4000 a week to the owner, who usually pays about $8-$10/hr to the employee. You aparently have no business acumen. These union caretakers will be out of business very soon.
