Ivanka Trump to join dad to pitch child care plan

The lack of quality, affordable child care is one of the biggest challenges facing American parents. “That’s what we’re doing”.

“I’m very passionate about this”, she said.

“It would definitely work for Ivanka, but not for most American families”, Martin said. The Family Medical Leave Act already requires employers to allow up to six weeks of unpaid leave.

“So it’s meant to benefit, whether it’s in same-sex marriages as well, to benefit the mother who has given birth to the child if they have legal married status under the tax code”, Trump explained. GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill had refused even to applaud when President Obama demanded “a bill” on paid maternity leave in his 2015 State of the Union Address. “This solution will receive strong bipartisan support”, he said. “And we will be completely self-financing”. “I’m hearing wow. I like to hear wow”.

U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday will propose allowing families to deduct the cost of childcare expenses from income taxes, his campaign said, a move aimed at bolstering his support among women voters. Adding maternity to the conditions that trigger payment will force those taxes upward, and probably sharply. He is expected to flesh out that plan Tuesday, including expanding the deduction to include costs associated with caring for elderly dependent relatives. How much would the EITC increase by?

– Create dependent care, tax-exempt savings accounts to cover future expenses relating to child or elder care. It extends the earned income credit for lower income families. They complained, for example, that Trump’s plan would allow paid leave from work to only mothers, not fathers, possibly widening the gender-pay gap and signaling that women are exclusively responsible for staying home to care for newborns (read: forgoing salaries and career advancement).

Cosmopolitan published an interview with Ivanka Trump on Wednesday in which reporter Prachi Gupta asked Trump about her father’s disparaging comments about pregnancy in the workplace.

“And it’s completely tax free”, Trump said, which was met with an applause break. “If so, do you have any interesting or fun moments you can tell us about?” A senior official said it would be part of Trump’s plan to overhaul the tax code and would end up not adding to deficit spending in the US budget.

The 34-year-old businesswoman spoke with Cosmo after helping her father debut his new childcare and family leave plan on Tuesday.

Gliding past Gupta’s point that mothers’ role as primary childcare providers exacerbates the gender pay gap, Trump said the plan still represented a “huge advancement” for mothers and lesbian couples.

The interview got off to a rough start, with Ivanka dodging a question about why her father has waited so long to release a maternity leave plan, while Clinton released hers a year ago.

So.citing an earlier interview where your father doesn’t come off as feminist as you’d like is somehow “a lot of negativity”? Her plan promises up to 12 weeks of paid time off, twice what the Trump plan offers.

“While my opponent slanders you as deplorable and irredeemable, call you hard-working American patriots who love your country, love your families and want a better future for all-Americans”.
