My irrational rage towards the Liberal day-care plan.

I'll admit it outright - I become a raging idiot whenever I hear talk of the Liberal day-care fiasco. I'm not sure who exactly they're buying off with this garbage-from-beginning-to-end deal, and I don't much care. I'm not a profanity-type man, but I find many expletives come quickly to mind whenever it's even mentioned in passing. Why?

As a family man who has made many sacrifices to enable my wife to stay home with our children (and she's made sacrifices to be there as well), I find it incomprehensible that any thinking person would even consider, let alone draw up a plan and execute it, taking some of my tax money to pay for childcare for people who have two incomes. Income tax laws in Canada already penalize my wife and I because we don't shack up and work two jobs. Instead, we make do with one and find ourselves taxed to pay for those who have two incomes. To be momentarily rational, there are many people who have two working parents simply because they cannot afford to keep one at home. However, this bastard plan (oops, let one out) won't help a single person stay home to watch their own children, and it will further tempt people to get the second income, because it makes more financial sense, now that the Liberal government is rewarding people to farm out the kids and go out to work. Well, [expletive] you, Liberal government! We can pretty well decide for ourselves how to best care for/raise our own children. We don't need any [expletive] program to entice us to earn more money at the expense of home child-care. To mandate that provinces spend the money only on accredited child-care makes a mockery of the far-superior child-care my own kids receive at home - telling us that government knows best when it comes to what my kids need. Well, [expletive] you, once again!

I'm pretty mild-mannered, very 'Canadian' in a way. In fact, I'm becoming more and more aware of the many travesties Canadian governments have inflicted on us - and becoming less 'Canadian' by the minute. I may even come to hate the word 'tolerance' in time.
