Can anybody spot a hole in this logic.
1) New mother runs out of maternity leave and goes back to work. She earns money and pays tax.
2) New mother has taken a job that somebody else could be doing. That's not a complaint, just an observation.
3) New mother needs a nanny to look after junior while she's at work. Somebody that didn't get a job because some new mother went back to work takes the nanny's job instead. She earns money and pays tax.
So far so good but here comes the catch. The new mother finds herself working for very little because she has to pay the nanny. On the other hand the government is laughing all the way to the bank. Tony and his cronies are getting two lots of tax out of the same pay packet.
