New parents in Sweden are guaranteed:
- 480 days of paid leave
- 80% of normal wages during that time
New parents in the U.S. are guaranteed:
- 0 days of paid leave
- $0 of your wages during any time off
How does that make sense in the richest country on earth?
Think about this: If you ask the top 1% to pay the same tax rate they paid in 2001, when George W. Bush was President, that would generate $13 billion a year. That’s enough to provide two years of community college free to every student in America.
We need a fairer tax system.
