So one parent can be at home with the kids? Will the kids grow up to be less selfish.

I've been staying home for 12 years now and never had a harder or more fulfilling job. I know that this proposal will never work in America. In Germany, it has been around since after the war. The mother gets her pay for three years while staying at home and a guarantee to have her job back when the child can go to Kindergarten. Parents also receive monthly government contribution for each child until they are 18. I know that helped a lot in my family.
Material things that we think are necessary and needed are just an excuse to go to work. I've had so many people tell me that they would love to stay home if only they could afford it. I can? Hardly. Do I drive a new car? Nooooope. What about new clothes, jewelry, a maid? Noooope. We made the necessary adjustments and sacrifices to do that. There is nothing better than to raise your child. How awesome it is to be able to see them change and grow, physically mentally. To be their mentor and guide. To pass on values and morals. I could never see handing my child over to a daycare place. No matter how high they rate, they will never love my child the way I do. Are there exceptions? Sure. Should they be the rule? No.

If the only reason a mother is working is to have more money to spend the kids with be selfish anyway.
If the mother is working so that the family will be able to make ends meet is entirely different.
If at all possible the mother or father... should stay home and care for the kids, at least until they all are in school.
Look at it like this. When you have your children in day care, someone else is teaching them life skills, might be the day care worker and it might be another child and it may be life skills you don't want your child to know about.

I think that is a personal decision made by parents based on thier own situation. Perhaps childrens lives would be improved in some cases but in others it would be worse-there is nothing worse than Mommy being home when she knows she should be working in order to provide all her children need.
What about single parents? You want to support them until thier youngest is 6 or something?
You havent thought it through if the only problem you see is selfishness.

your suggestion sounds very such as the tax value we hit upon in different worldwide places. i think of the sweetness and success of u . s . is as a results of fact we are a hybrid. we've the two. the organic variations of any financial equipment has inherent problems . from what ive considered the large institutions like the defense force , hearth depts coaching and well being care artwork extra ideal below socialist concepts. i think of i might agree that we could strengthen the terrific suited tax ranges. i think of the we've had a sensible advert marketing campaign advertising the generic public on the belief of reducing taxes on the rich and that helping our united states of america. in spite of the terrific suited value is the rich will pay a decrease powerful value. i basically heard that obamas expenditures have been 20 and 28 % on 2 tax returns. mitts became below 15. the counter argument ive heard is the rich wont be inspired to make money with larger tax value. destructive toddlers! and what bs. we've many years of documents that coach that isnt real

It is home values taught in the home that teach a child about selfishness or generosity.
Some parents have to both work. If they can afford it, one parent home is better.

Some parents don't have a choice but to both work in order to support their families. I think you're over-simplifying and generalizing here.
I'm a Canadian stay at home mom...not every family can afford to have only one income, and still house and feed their families - that applies worldwide, not just to 'American parents', as you've noted.
