[ID] 1049 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] We are one of the four countries out of 170 that don't compensate for any maternity leave. Our society makes it difficult for middle class Americans to raise children and need to work to keep up with mortgage, taxes, food and bills but don't qualify for any assistance programs. The middle class families are suppressed and are forced to limit the amount of children they can have because of money and lack of support. We are forced to return to work early because it is hard these days to have three months of salary savings in the bank to cover for the time out of work. It is just not fair when other countries give a lot more support to working families. How are we so behind these other countries when is comes to paid maternity leave and support? [Topic]
