"Cost of being a stay-at-home mom: $1 million "
And what is the "cost" to the children and their upbringing by not having one parent at home? Is it WORTH $1 million?
Families would have more money, work less, and be able to have one parent stay at home if we didn't have such a progressive tax system....
I think a lot of husbands/wives both work to support their overleveraged, lavish lifestyles. The nice new cars, the big fancy homes, etc. If they lived within their means, they could have a stay at home mom on this tax system.
