It's a strictly economic decision, but it does get them for their other behavior.Sick!
What is a plutocrat? It is a historical slur that has no meaning today.Other than the Plutocrats would want the government to pay for all the childcare costs of their employees so their employees ae not distracted by their own children and can work for less money, there is no reason for the plutocrats to care about any of that.

Money for schools isn't the problem in many depressed areas. It's the children coming to school every day from dysfunctional homes that are often lacking most all of the components needed for nurturing a child. Do you really think a child is going to learn when he or she is more preoccupied with being hungry, or living around drugs, alcohol, and violence?
In many homes, the children just fighting to survive.
The USA has the highest rate of single parent households in the world, and single parent households have close to a 33% poverty rate.
U.S. has world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households
Almost a quarter of U.S. children under 18 live with one parent and no other adults, more than three times the share of children around the world who do so.www.pewresearch.org

Money doesn't help schools in depressed neighborhoods, it's typically squandered because of inept administration so that is not a solution to a problem it's really a continuation of it.Money for schools in depressed neighborhoods.

First two paragraphs:
HOUSTON — Shell Reed's 1-year-old needed diapers. Her 4-, 6- and 8-year-old girls were outgrowing their clothes faster than she could replace them. And with her oldest kids — 11, 12 and 13 — taking their classes virtually from home, food expenses for the family were soaring at what seemed to be the worst possible time. “As soon as we get the groceries, they’re gone the next day,” said Reed, who moved to Houston’s largest housing project five years ago to start an online sales business and has seen her family of nine’s stretched budget broken by a year-long pandemic.
The US needs to take another look at returning to the food distribution of AFDC that we had in the 60's. At least we would know that actual food is reaching the table.
I don’t have the answer, but having children that one cannot provide for is wrong on so many levels. It’s not just a white/poc issue either, imo.
I hate to be a bother OS but I'm not seeing the "both sides" you are. We saw exactly those actions from republicans every time there is a democrat president. Remember the now laughably small stimulus from President Obama, republicans didnt vote for it. And they're not voting for it under Biden. And dont forget, their only complaint for trump's 2 trillion dollar stimulus was that democrats made them wait 3 days. An even better example is Obamacare. President Obama wanted single payer. It was going nowhere in the democratic congress so he literally compromised on the republican plan of mandates. And they didnt vote for that either.It is not looking so good for a compromise between two ideologies that would rather point out the actions of the other than work with them on anything.
Did the democrats compromise with President Trump? Nope.
Republicans don't compromise. It's a tactic that has worked for them ever since Obama was elected. It's been so long that they've forgotten how. They think that the fact that Democrats are allowed to run for office at all is a huge concession on their part and we should all be grateful.Money for schools in depressed neighborhoods.

rn, thank you for that "both sides" post. Maybe you can help out because I'm not seeing the "both sides" thing you so clearly see. I do see republicans' decision making as a "divisional sport". They voted for stimulus under trump and Bush but not Obama and now Biden. democrats voted for stimulus under Bush, Obama, trump and Biden. I can post more examples if you want. anyhoo, can you give me an example similar to that from democrats? thanks in advance.Politics and decision making in DC has become a divisional sport.
Nothing more and nothing less.
