The tax code is already hugely distorted in favor of stay-at-home parenting: Labor outside the home is taxed; household work, such as stay-at-home parenting, is not.

Wait a minute, do these morons want to tax stay-at-home parenting?

Go eff yourselves, NYT.

By that logic, everyone who is on welfare and staying home should be taxed because of their un-taxed benefit to their families. Every housewife could be taxed, as could any person living at home providing unpaid care to a parent.
