The government wants to give more money, in the form of tax credits, to women who work for money and who have young children.
They are encouraging women to go out to work and to dump their children in nurseries.
The care of the little poppets has been transferred out of the gift economy and is now a commodity. Money is exchanged. The gift of love has been replaced by the coercion of exchange.
If the fathers earn a living wage and the women look after the children themselves, if the parents entrust their children to a member of their family, the economy does not grow.
People who look after their children properly within the family, are enemies of the system.
As capitalism has developed in the last thirty years, with the ever increasing bureaucratization of daily life, the tax code has become ever more complicated, with tax credits for this that and the other, with the aim of destroying the family and increasing dependency on the state.
This is an agreeable outcome for many people for whom society’s bonds are a burden, and servitude to the state is a liberation from responsibility.
The little darlings may miss mummy, but money is exchanged and the wheels of the economy keep turning, and we, like mice on a treadmill, must run ever faster.
