Election: Gubernatorial candidate proposes child-care tax breaks for parents, as well as for businesses.

By MICHAEL FINNEGAN, TIMES STAFF WRITER

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon Jr. on Monday proposed a tax credit for parents to offset the cost of child care, and a tax break for businesses that provide day care to employees' children. The cost to the state, he said, would be nothing.

Like his earlier proposal to cut California's capital gains tax, Simon said, the tax breaks for child care would stimulate business, making up for the lost revenue.

"To the extent you can encourage people to come to work because the employers can give them some form of child care, that in turn will encourage businesses to thrive," Simon said. MORE....

This is good family values. If the Rats believed in it, they would be backing this tax credit to help families stay together along with cutting taxes instead of driving the economy into a recession through pilfering more from families wallets along with more spending and bigger government. Gee with a choice like this, it should be easy for the voters in November.

"The cost to the state, he said, would be nothing."

My question .. Why hasn;t this already been done if that is the case? Don't socialists care about "the children" ?

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship".
